Being Happy: Social and Natural Factors Are More Important than Money (Especially in Costa Rica)
It's easy to find an online test that will purportedly tell you how happy you are. But how happy are the people of an entire nation? And which nation's people are happiest ?
That's hard to measure. So for decades world organizations like the United Nations that concern themselves with improving people's well-being have used a single proxy for happiness: gross domestic product, or GDP. The loose logic is that as people attain a higher standard of living, they will feel less burdened by basic survival and have greater means for everything from decent food to recreation.
