  1. The note in the top right is interesting, I wonder why older people are “significantly happier” than younger people in the Nordics.

    I wonder if anyone really spent the time to go to Ukraine to ask how happy they feel in a scale .

  3. I can explain why Finland, some of the most apathic people I met (jokinglyish I love you) are so happy. Happiness = your PERCEPTION of the events on your life minus your EXPECTATION of how life should behave. can’t get unhappy if your expectations are low 🤣🤣

  4. How do they measure this? Because if it’s self-reported, I would take it with a grain of salt. In the Netherlands it’s not entirely socially acceptable to say that one is not happy.

  5. Reeeeeeee3eeeeeeee on

    happiness – poland one of the lowest

    life satisfaction – poland one of the highest ^(from another map that was posted here)

    Yeah idk if these maps mean much

    Least happy is a country currently being invaded and reciving war crimes

    Tax Euros at work

  7. In a parallel universe where Finland doesn’t border Russia its happiness stats are double digits. In a parallel universe where Poland doesn’t border Russia, the expression “The Polish Book of Smiles” is not a joke. Magic Russia away and that part of Europe stretching from Finland through the Baltics and Poland and further south would be known globally as the Smiling Belt.

  8. Will never understand why our country is listed as the happiest knowing how us Finns are. Also highest suicide rates in the nordic. I guess this actually means quality of life/economic perspective.
