WHERE DO WE FIND HAPPINESS?

According to the U.N.'s annual World Happiness Report, the happiest people live in Finland. Yet most of the year, Finland has few hours of sunlight and subzero temperatures. Continuing the trend, Norway is second, followed by Denmark and Iceland, which are also dark and cold. The U.S. is #18 (down from # 14 last year.) Yet "the pursuit of happiness" is ingrained in our constitution!

I was intrigued by this report (which I read in the 3/30 edition of The Week magazine) for two reasons:

1. Maybe it's because I'm a 2 nd generation Californian, but for me, happiness invokes a nice sunny day.

2. When time and workload allow, I'm reading The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner. It's subtitled, One Grump's Search for the Happiest Places in the World.
