Last year's winner, Denmark, came to the top of 158 countries in Central Europe. The report, produced by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), was compiled by leading experts in the fields of economics, neuroscience and national statistics and is an essential part of the attempt to make governments see' progress' both in human terms and in economic terms, which is a laudable objective in our book.
Iceland is second in the top five, while Denmark, Norway and Canada are in the top five. The US has languished 15th, and the United Kingdom is 21st. At the other end of the scale, the bottom three are Togo, Burundi and Syria: not hard to understand, given their poverty and state of war. However, the diagram is not merely a replica of relative riches and peace. Some countries are higher than you would have hoped, and other countries are lower and suggest that certain countries can deal more effectively with the worsening of their situation.
So the question now arises: how can the United Kingdom have its own national happiness? Here we look at the champion and see what lessons we can learn from the Swiss.
They are wealthy
Face it - when it comes to happiness, money talks. All rich countries are in the top 10, with Switzerland being often the world's most prosperous. In 2007, its median citizens ' income was astounding 95,824 Dollars, and with its abundance of large companies, it was ranked as the world's most competitive and creative economy. Great Britain must therefore play up. Of course, there is a considerable debate over how to do that, especially with the upcoming elections. So, maybe we should only go into old school, expand the tunnel to the vaults of Swiss banks, and act directly. You can opt Dubai to Switzerland holiday package.
They don't fight
In two ways, wars are evil. Firstly, the whole thing is "finished" and, secondly, the economic impact is enormous. Somehow, in both the World Wars and the great wars of recent times, Switzerland has managed to keep its noses open and to remain neutral. Of course, it is easier to say that than to do it - and there are sometimes unavailable enemies to fight-but. It is clear where you have priority when your significant military contribution in the world is a tool for opening any kind of alcoholic drink.
Their animals are intrepid explorers.
Our animals are brave explorers. Would it cause itself to be limited by the conventional' limits' of being a cow that this cow climbed on a roof in Bern last year? It didn't. No, it didn't. And it is this kind of free-mindedness that is bound to rub the people. In Britain, there are flamboyant animals: this week alone, we had a dog driving a tractor in Scotland on the motorway. This must be supported from now on.
It has beautiful geography.
Not many cows enjoy such a landscape. Oh, they're just happy. Of course (literally), in the UK, we have our own beautiful geography. We do not have anything on the scale of the Alps: Lake District, the Scottish Highlands, the Peak District, and much more. Let's import a lot of soil (Australia has a lot to do), squeeze it on and make it larger than Everest. People, go tough or go back.
They have great chocolate.
Some of the best chocolate makers in the world are in Switzerland. Everyone has his home there–obviously, Lindt, Toblerone, Cailler and Milka are all pleased. While the United Kingdom has a fine heritage in this field, we have perhaps allowed it to slip away from the time it was selling Cadbury to Kraft and the odd crimes committed on its behalf, like change in chocolate in cream eggs and coin axing. Regardless of the railways, Cadbury must be immediately renationalized. Get it in for the sake of the country on your manifestos.
They're not great at sports, but they're fine with that.
The Swiss don't really mess up the world of sports. Roger Federer, Martina Hingis, and Stanislas Wawrinka have, of course, earned tennis, but their National Soccer team's results are very modest. Nevertheless, their joy does not seem to have affected this. Maybe we could all be much happier if we just decided that we would never be brilliant (and the proof stares at us in the face). In the Second World Cup Round, England out again? We had a good go and a little fun, no problem! Well played! Well played! Go to the UK! Opt for Switzerland holiday packages from Dubai.
