Methodology
To analyze the happiness of leading nations, Dalio looked at the following metrics:
Share of Population Reported Happy
Reported Life Satisfaction (1-10)
Share of Population Reported Daily Enjoyment
Share of Population Reports Having Good Social Support Network
Suicide Rate (Per 100,000 People)
For the rankings, countries were analyzed using z-scores, which represent the amount of standard deviations they are from the dataset’s mean.

Hehehe, published by who?
The Soviet Union was a very happy place too, even when millions were murdered...
Happiness is subjective. Ahahhh
To know if you're happy or not you also need to be connected with yourself!
That is not the case for most in the countries on top, so they simply parrot back what they think they're supposed to say ;-)
It happens constantly.
Nonsense Index
Don't sweat the small stuff. Happiness is subjective. The methodology needs a second look.
OMG, 0.83 for my country! How sad, but then again, things haven't been going well for us for too many years. I'll have to change countries sooner or later, either UK or Indonesia.. 😜
There was no need to dox yourself. Ahahhh
Come on, I didn't jeopardise my privacy.😄
Where's Portugal?
"Eurozone" - all the same, right? 😄
I really thought Norway, Sweden, and Finland would be on the top of the list!
So surprised!
