Denmark is, according to the UN World Happiness Report, the happiest country in a list of 156. The first place was obtained after the fall of Iceland. In second and third place we find Norway and Switzerland.
The happiness that this ranking measures is not about the euphoria of a moment of success, but about an optimistic and joyful belief about your current life. That is why it is important to register that Denmark has been among the happiest countries in the world for 40 years, this means that something in society awakens these happy feelings in the inhabitants.
What are the keys to Danish happiness?
By consulting different experts, interesting statements about Danish idiosyncrasy were obtained. For example, one of the great achievements of the Danish lifestyle is the combination of full family life and professional life. Danish people are much less competitive at work than other Europeans, which allows them to make better use of their time and dedicate the necessary attention to their loved ones.
La mutual trust Among people is another important element, the Danes think little of economic statistics such as GDP. That figure cannot measure the important things in life, of course it helps to understand the level of circulating money and the earnings of each worker or employer, but happiness revolves around other aspects.
Simplicity and balance They are the pillars of Danish society and it seems that this has served them well because the European crisis does not seem to have affected them as much and they continue to be a happy society that faces the moments of life with optimism and hard work.
What do we need in the rest of the world to be happy? Is it just about getting a better salary so that we can spend it on things we like?
