119 is this week’s featured number.
According to the first 'World Map of Happiness', Nepal is the 119th happiest place in the world. The map is prepared by Adrian White, a British analytic social psychologist from University of Leicester and it rates 178 countries. The study considered three parameters Health, Wealth and Access to Education as major sources of happiness. Denmark comes out as the Happiest Place while Burundi came out as Unhappiest. Our neighbors China (82), SriLanka (93) and Bangladesh (104) are considered happier place than Nepal whereas India (125) and Pakistan (166) are less happy.
It is up to the readers to buy this or not but that’s what the report says.
Yes, 119th happiest nation on earth is Nepal and 119 is this week’s number. Hope we will rank higher as we reach political stability and move away from domestic violence but for today I will leave you with 119.

I have actually seen a documentary (I think it was on PBS) where they interviewed few people from Denmark regarding the happiness index). Those people seem to be very satisfied and content, but don't misinterpret that they are not ambitious. They are ambitious like Americans, but they don't worry much about the failures.
One guy in that documentary was asked " how do you feel if your country is ranked 20 in happiness index?" The guy replied by saying "It's alright, we still will be in top 25". That's their attitude.
Interesting!
Hope we will see better in coming days.
AND..
Thanks Prajwol you served a nice example..
Nice information!
I have heard and read good things only about Denmark. And that sounds 'strange':)
