Happiest Countries in the World


http://thehappinessshow.com/HappiestCountries.htm

The University of Michigan's World Values Surveys (WVS) has compiled data on the happiest countries in the world for over twenty years. Their results are considered the most authoritative by happiness researchers.
WVS measures the happiness of individuals by two different means. The first is to simply ask them how "happy" they are. The second is to ask them how "happy" they are, and also how "satisfied" they are.  The results are then combined to arrive at a measure of their "subjective well-being," a term generally considered synonymous with happiness. 
Because of these two different ways of measuring happiness, some confusion arises in determining which countries in the world are happiest. There is support for the the validity of both measures. For example, former president of the American Psychological Association, Dr. Martin Seligman, uses the "happiness only" measure in his book Authentic Happiness.  However, Dr. Ron Inglehart, director of World Values Surveys, considers the "subjective well-being" measure a more accurate indicator of personal happiness.
Therefore on this page I present the international rankings using both measures.
after reading this ask yourself why you are or are not and what is keeping you from being one or the other. do you think if you research your vote before you make it wold you change your mind if the evidence is against who you are for at that moment.
you can do something about either answer if you are happy God Blesss you, if you just think you are ask God for direction, if yiou know you aren't Pray that you have the strenght and sound mind on Nov. 4th 2014 to vote for real prosperity and not the elusive not yet, wait for it trickle down.
that unhappy, treat it as crap in one hand then wish in the other hand and see which one more represents what republicans have obstructed us into.  where would you like to be on that list, it can be if we remember "YES WE CAN"
