Finnish the happiest

IF cold weather and a lack of sunlight in winter are enough to get you down, chances are you’re not Finnish.

The World Happiness Report published this week put Finland at the top among 156 countries ranked by happiness levels, based on factors such as life expectancy, social support and corruption.

In reaching No.1, Finland nudged neighbouring Norway into second place.

Rounding out the Top 10 are Denmark, Iceland, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Canada, New Zealand, Sweden and Australia.
