Australia is apparently the 6th happiest nation out of 104 nations!
It came in after Finland, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway. Not bad, since everyone always talks about how great those countries are in terms of economics, democracy, education, health, safety, security, personal freedom, governance and social capital, all things that we apparently came into the top 10 for, and are also indicators of happiness according to the study. We 'lost out' on entrepreneurship and innovation, which the US and UK did best in. But still, pretty good, and we were at 15th place! The survey was apparently done by Legatum Institute, in London.
Canada was 7th, then Holland, USA and New Zealand. It was measured with 79 variables including quality of life.
What do you think about this?
And what's the relevance of the dog? He's a happy Australian Shepherd.
I've always thought that Australians were basically just Canadians with tans. With weather like ours there's no way we could have come out ahead of Australia, but I'm not the least surprised we're side by side.
ReplyDeleteI can so see that! The dog is a very nice looking Australian Shepherd btw, they are one of my faovorite breeds.
