We live in a world where everything is quantifiable and needs to be measured. We count our daily calories, our days of work ‘till the next vacations, we measure air pollution in cities and tend to start a “Top 10” list for almost everything.
Happiness is an aspiration of every individual, but it can also represent a measure of social progress. In July 2011 the United Nations General Assembly took a historical step, by inviting member countries to measure the happiness of their people. One year later, the first “World Happiness Report” was launched and now these reports rank world’s countries using the happiness factor every year.
