Costa Ricans: Most Happy People
Costa Rica has captured another pleasurable title. This time, as home for the world’s happiest people. According to the New Economic Foundation, the organization measured several aspects of what it called a “Happy Planet Charter.”
In addition to Costa Rica, the rankings included, in order, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Guatemala, Vietnam, and Colombia. According to an article on its website, www.amcostarica.com, the results seem to be correlated highly with the size of the country, although Brazil is rated highly, too.
