An interesting piece in the New Scientist discussing happiness worldwide and a new study by Adrian White at the University of Leicester. White used various measures to make his index and created the world happiness map. The article states, “Money may be able to buy happiness after all – especially when it is poured into healthcare and education. That is the idea suggested by a new ranking of countries in terms of the happiness of their people.” This, of course, contrasts with a Daniel Kanheman study discussed on this blog the other day.
