Who's Happier Than Americans?

Those living in Denmark, apparently. And Puerto Rico, Colombia, Northern Ireland, Iceland, Switzerland, Ireland. (deep breath) Netherlands, Canada and Sweden.

Matter of fact, America is 16th on the list of happy nations.

Here are the results of the U.S. government-funded World Values Survey, done by a global network of social scientists.

Zimbabwe ranks as the least happy.

In all, 350,000 people were surveyed. Asked two basic questions. How would you answer?

1. Taking all things together, would you say you are very happy, rather happy, not very happy, not at all happy?

2. All things considered, how satisfied are you with your life as a whole these days?

In the words of Drop Dead Fred, "Get Happy!!!"
