World's Happiest Country Study Comes Out, US Is No. 150...

The tiny South Pacific Ocean archipelago of Vanuatu is the happiest country on Earth, according to a study published measuring people's wellbeing and their impact on the environment.

"Don't tell too many people, please," said Marke Lowen of Vanuatu Online, the republic's online newspaper.

"People are generally happy here because they are very satisfied with very little," he told The Guardian.

"This is not a consumer-driven society. Life here is about community and family and goodwill to other people. It's a place where you don't worry too much."

When I spotted a post announcing something negative about the US, I knew who posted it! Is anybody clammoring to live in the other 149 "happier" nations?
