Guy Kawasaki pointed out a very interesting article - The World Map of Happiness, listing out 20 of the most happy country in the world. This article is produced by Adrian G. White, a psychologist at the University of Leicester.
What is the definition of happy here? One may asked. According to ScienceDaily:
Participants in the various studies were asked questions related to happiness and satisfaction with life. The meta-analysis is based on the findings of over 100 different studies around the world, which questioned 80,000 people worldwide. For this study data has also been analysed in relation to health, wealth and access to education.
And there you go, the 20 most happy countries in the world.

It’s true, we are happy here in Denmark - although we always complaint about the goverment, weather, taxes, housing prices and ten thousand other things ;-)
Could you imagine live in a country where the tax on a new car is 180% and where you pay 65% of each buck you earn in taxes?
