Scientists have named the 10 happiest countries in the world, where they don’t know exactly what the blues are (11 photos)

Back in 2012, researchers from Gallup, the Oxford Well-Being Research Center and the UN Office for Sustainable Development took up the issue of happiness levels in different countries. To find out how satisfied local residents are, scientists conducted surveys regardless of age, gender and status of people.





They showed that the gap in happiness levels between different segments of the population in the most unfavorable and favorable countries is very small. For example, Afghanistan and Lebanon remain the most unhappy in 2024.

Which 10 countries have the highest levels of well-being? Simply put, where to go to get treatment for the blues, see below.

Perhaps Zealand is one of the luckiest countries because it has the village of Hobbiton.
