did a really interesting poll to figure out which countries are the happiest and
you know they looked at
all types of countries across the board okay they looked at wealthy countries
countries are extremely poor decide to use the word detail
gallup ast one thousand uh... one hundred fifty thousand people
in total but they also asked one thousand people in each of the one
hundred forty eight countries last year if they were well rested
had been treated with respect
smiled or laughed a lot
learned in something interesting and felt feelings and enjoyment the previous
day
so this is uh... a part of that larger paul night
and it's an interesting question asked because of all of them
people look at brown brothers like how rich are you
it's forms of country it is that he had set up
recruitment predators they've chosen are
interesting uh... i don't know that i agree that that's the definition of
happiness
but it's a piece of proximity to so they speak your system which way people went
without i think it's interesting to not look at economic factors and look at
someone's outlook and optimism and or has you know it yo di might've would
deferred
adjectives to describe people's outlooks
yes it is to see if they were really kind of syria
but these are good but it may be curious which way they want so that the u_s_
back at the u_s_ is all the way at number thirty three
yeah
thirty three-year-old like sorry i'm actually surprised with that high i mean
things are pretty bad in the u_s_ right now gifts are pretty upset no i hear you
but look at what it does make a difference deceptive determiner for
example say of course a lot of money
but uh... people are working and so some of my own and actually sappy countries
right
overall
the store wealthier countries
are in the top
because they're not worried about you know possibly dying like they're in iraq
which is near the bottom
there are constantly worried about starvation and cetera and so we have a
huge advantage in the rich countries so given that the u_s_ the richest country
the fact they were all the way it number thirty three but she doesn't speak that
while all of our culture
uh... so let's i look at the highest positive emotions worldwide okay and
coming in and dot number one is actually panama
okay eighty five percent of the respondents said yes when they're asked
do you feel well rested today we treated with respect all day yesterday did you
smile laugh a lot
seems like that the majority of people had pretty warm and fuzzy feelings
the respect that and let me put that in this interesting but uh...
it you know and maybe that has something to do with the answers here and i i
think that uh... family life probably has a lot because what the all those
latin america and resentment
yep i mean
panama nicely done
uh... spirit laid that was an interesting quote by uh... panamanian in
this article
whereas he basically talked about how important he feels because he lives in
panama because panas very important because of the canal you know it's a
it's a major player when it comes to trade
and and i i i love that i love that he takes great pride in this country second
pride in your country also plays a role
uh... and uh... it
it's interesting
for approval reasons so's you little list you've got pam paraguayan salvador
venice well in trinidad tobago
uh... then finally thailand but otherwise so let me record the caribbean
for exam three that is really close to that as well
and they've got a lot of my again
guatemala very poor but at the eighty two percent this funny yes the happy
etcetera
philippines five other occasion country
ecuador coast real estate and hand that are in the general area
so r_t_c_ latin americans are doing something right now but
i have to believe that has something to a family life
i think it's family life i think it also just has to do with culture right
uh... i think that there are certain cultures where eight use you're not
really ashamed about talking about
how upset u r how i'm satisfied you are how you know depressing or whatever you
can see
talcum outback and suffering
on that same can do that and latin america but there are also quarters
where it's like
not in the face
you know even though you're going to a lot to speak thankful for what you do
have and you know just be optimistic
so it's a combination of a lot of different factors i'm sure
uh... but i'm reminded of the old story that i never see
tell right but
supply good at bankamerica banker goes out of mexico for a vacation
it's and you've got a good here's fishing with the local mexican guy who
stick em out on a boat any system and that's what i want to do this at
i gotta work the next thirty forty years suddenly do a lot of what i said to buy
a house out here in a big boat and go fishing like this every day
ever singers
that's what i really do it
white people
and that goes partly to explain what's happening here they're not stressing
themselves out like they are in singapore like our government thing
rafts
workers with
a part of the eleven times like
uh... that you're pretty wide and go straight to relax
uh... well rested that may be getting c_s_ lewis
that sounds so awesome that would be great
by the way your well-being is connect the sleep alone
dealers that thousand studies on that
or perhaps a little less maybe dozens but nonetheless the blood of studies yes
and
so accc esis or awesome for you but of course here in the u_s_ is most
while the other you know
driven country south korea satellites permit team
bob marley leading u_s_ always gets everything wrong ok when you're like
titanium partner and you don't want to take a freakin nap in the middle of the
day you want to go out there and play
the teachers like you know any andrea insane but a background it currently
taken and they can do
alphabet
leclick with poor man in america record that
okay
and thought you know i think a little sleeping pill you i think in that at all
this i mean you're lazy person yet
here's who does not list of academics who was a ***
david cole
no one take more micrographs of over there
davilla
but legislator worker with a cricket which is
but you know what you're doing a good co-founder of the company demanded that
whatever part you like a bear so
everyday of print
so but also our vacations lebanese guy stripped-down recitals started laughing
over to the back and vendors
that's why elat argyle they typically struggle and there was another without
them
arguing about and that's the bottom center and so coming in at number one
are the very bottom is saying a poor
us something to the bottom is
armenia
though i x but i didn't have iraq i can do you think you know he's more happy
that armenia
that's not good for the
they enter our daily and in serbia at belarus so and the losing weight and
that is good that details my job
he took over the last minute but at this stage
a couple of things in common with the bottom of the lists as well
one is you know
uh... countries are working to hard and uh... and other is former soviet
republics
as a soldier who
informal
approval
where uh... dot comes out of rust says ideally anything you want okay
uh... any which you want alluded about
uh... but not like hatches if i
whatever i do leon they give your neighbor at twice as much
sources of operate no prob
does one of my eyes
weekday herself hope
like business culture of
and the and i don't want other guy together
and that apparently spread to the soviet republics at and by the way portions of
the impropriety
was also economic devastation i mean yes decision within the soviet union and
then the break-up and and there may have made center so there's a lot of factors
that go into and out when i when i mean you became independent was no longer
under soviet rule and unit was devastating for you know the people
there because all decided
here there's no jobs there's hunger there's poverty
uh... signing up and there before but it was into the same expected that the
world are held after the break up this tremendous economic inequality
names of pick up my problem all the parts one opinion all the money
and everything else
is them and i have a great time to look at them
and then look at our terrible situation
and that you had that old cultural and we can do that makes
and that's all you have a lot of the bottom campus former soviet republics
and of course a one other thing that unites the bottom tennis
but spur act yemen yeah afghanistan
actually does it
another way of saying by the way is countries of the u_s_ is invaded
were regularly bombs
that's true
adams is one quote by an armenian sociologist that i like uh...
are debating on
look at that can say i mean stuff not he says feeling unhappy views different
armies
happiest by the national mentality here are millions like the mournful
uh... there have been so many upheavals in the nation's history
that americans keep their smiles on and avoid sharing their problems with others
and armenians feel ashamed about being successful i think what he's trying to
say there and
and this is definitely part of the culture and i'd i'd even believe it
myself if u brag about your successes they're gonna give you the i the evil
i'll be delighted to have restrictive pitcher he didn't do that well either
they will get over there
wordlet in that
bombs thirty or so
made not surprise when i designed a lot of times and i like having to look you
folks but
another manager here where it was a classic
it that they have so maybe database
