Happiness of different nations

First of all, what is happiness? It is a mental state of well-being characterized by positive emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. Nobody is happy all of the time, but some people are definitely more fullfiled than others. What makes people happy? In my opinion, it does not matter material goods or high achievement. It is important your outlook on life, quality of relationships with the people around you.

If we talking about happiness of different nations, so in the 3rd place is Australia. In this country is excellent education, strong economy and personal freedom. Moreover, this country is a good place to start a business.

In the 8th place is Canada. There also a personal freedom is plentiful, immigrants are welcomed. Moreover, corruption is very low and social capital is high. What's more, canadians like to help others and donate to charity.

In the 9th place is Guatemala. It is a small country with an extraordinary natural beauty and an incredible biological diversity within it's borders. 12% of its territory has been declared a World Biosphere Reserve.

Finally, how to be happy? There are several steps: be optimistic, follow your gut, make enough money to meet your needs(food, shelter, clothing), stay close to your friends and family and smile all the time! Scientists believe that when you smile, whether you fell happy or not, your mood will be elevated.
