Adrian G. White, a psychologist at the University of Leicester, produced a World Map of Happiness last year. According to the results, the top twenty happiest countries in the world are:
- Denmark
- Switzerland
- Austria
- Iceland
- The Bahamas
- Finland
- Sweden
- Bhutan
- Brunei
- Canada
- Ireland
- Luxembourg
- Costa Rica
- Malta
- The Netherlands
- Antigua and Barbuda
- Malaysia
- New Zealand
- Norway
- The Seychelles
Tha happiest country of all is Denmark. Malaysia, my country, is ranked at 17 - while other notable countries are ranked at:
USA (23), France (62), China (82) Japan (90), India (125).
Looks like people in India are not that happy. The three least happy countries are Democratic Republic of the Congo (176), Zimbabwe (177) and Burundi (178). I have not heard of any of them though. Wondering what is Iraq’s rank, I believe it wouldn’t be considered as a happy country.
According to Wikipedia, Happy is defined as:
An emotional or affective state that is characterized by feelings of enjoyment and satisfaction.
Are you living in a happy country? If you are not, read my previous post titled No Worries, Be Happy.

@ Remo Hello there. That comment was made according to the statistics released by BBC, as India is not ranking quite well. I’m sorry if that offended you.
