Glob glob glob, around the Watercooler this morning, the question is simple, but the answer may be complex. What do you think is the happiest country on the planet? Ladies, some guesses?

Somewhere in the South Pacific, perhaps. Fiji was a guess over here (one of our...), any place with steel drums. Yes, over there.

So we're going with a happy cultural environment?

It would have to be an island, I would think, Yes, (yeah) I would think, if not the South Pacific, maybe the Caribbean? I don't know.

And you?

I know the answer, go.

Oh, I would, I would still say America. I'm an Ameri-can, (Oh, you are...) not an Ameri-can't. But let's take a look. David M with the researchers who came up with the answer. Let's see what it is.

Yes.

The happiest country on earth? Denmark. Researchers at the University of Leicester in England looked at 178 countries. What mattered most? Health, wealth, and education. "Precisely", says the Danish Embassy.

We are happy because we have a balance between our work and our private life.

How many weeks of vacation?

Do you really wanna know?

Let me know.

5 to 6 weeks.

But vacation, she says, is only part of it, there're shorter work weeks, 37 hours on average and higher education and health care for all and when it comes to the people, well, they say they are humble.

You say they don't like to brag --, (no) and yet, you'll be happy to tell us that you're happy.

We'll be happy to tell we're happy, but then nothing more and we'll do it together.

But no bragging?

No bragging.

But they have reason to and who's behind them? Switzerland, Austria, Iceland and the Bahamas. Where's the US? 23rd, not so bad out of 178.

But Denmark is not as big as the United States, by any means.

Definitely not, it's a little smaller than Lake Michigan so er...

Denmark?

Yes.

All of Denmark?

All of Denmark.

There's a new poll out about the happiest country on earth. Give a guess.

Anguilla, Italy.

Anguilla? Italy?

Finland, though I, one of those Nordic (close close close ) Nordic countries. Sweden.

Getting closer.

Starts with a D, sounds like (Denmark) landmark...

Yeah.

Denmark, there you go.

What do you think is the happiest country?

It's my country.

It's your country?

It's Denmark.

You are from Denmark?

Yeah.

What are the chances! She's from Denmark.

You've heard that song, Don't Worry, Be Happy?

Yeah.

Is that your national anthem?

No, not yet.

But it could be.

Could be.

Don't worry, be happy.

How about my ma'am you're saying man mark? (I love it, love it)

(Inaudible...)

But there is something to be said about the balance, you know, people who talk more about life and happiness (true) than work and in this country, we talk so much about work.

It's true.

I think that, and lunch of herring.

Herring is not as pickled as this. . . )

Herring and gulag (smog as board)

But seriously, the question: You said the islands, all these places, would you want to live there? Would you want to live in Fiji instead of here?

Not forever.

But Denmark is a beautiful place. I have been there. (It is) (yeah). I have to say it is very very inspiring.

It is. . .

We love America, but we love America.

It's joky we're happier?

Exactly

Contest desire. .
