Great Dane!

If you had asked most anyone this question, who are the happiest people in the world, the answer would likely fall straight off the edge of Columbus’ flat map. In a world wrought with its own score of problems, economic uncertainty, global inequality, natural disasters, which country would you answer? Could you answer?

Well, the results are in, and after a multi-national survey from two different agencies, this study has concluded that there is indeed a happiest place on Earth. And no, it’s not Disneyland. According to the poll, the surest measures of a country’s well-being come from their freedom to choose how to live one’s life, encouragement of gender equality, and tolerance for minorities.

On every count and tally, the country known for its, “Beauty in the small,” Denmark has once again taken the top seat as the world’s happiest people.

Tillykke, Denmark! And thanks for sharing a bit of your happiness by tuning in today.
