Happiness: A Question of Geography

BBC News reports that scientist Adrian White from the University of Leicester has published the first map of world happiness. Apparently the happiest people in the world lives in Denmark and Switzerland. The most miserable ones are found in Zimbabwe and Burundi.

According to BBC News, Mr White, an analytic social psychologist, suggests that: "When people are asked if they are happy with their lives, people in countries with good healthcare, a higher GDP [gross domestic product] per captia, and access to education were much more likely to report being happy."

Reeeeally?
