The World Happiness Report is a country assessment and analysis of public policy and well-being. While no one can accurately pinpoint the level of “luck” of any person, let alone a nation, there are established criteria for the preparation of this report. It is a general overview of the quality of life in different countries around the world and thus a compilation of the happiest and less happiest countries in the world over a specific period of time.
Recently, the UAE surprised citizens and the world by inventing ministries of “Happiness” and “Tolerance” in the recent cabinet reshuffle. These are the positive outcomes inspired by the World Happiness Reports – designed to inform policy making in nations of the world, taking into account the fact that the happiness of “the people” is both the key and the goal of development. If you want a happy country, make the people happy and the cycle continues; Patriotism will not be an issue.
