by Ingrid Bremer, UD/MH Associate To coincide with World Happiness Day this week, the latest World Happiness Report has just been published. The Report surveys people in 156 countries to better understand the national and regional distribution of 'happiness' and identify global 'happiness inequalities'. Of course 'happiness' is a complex term - the report defines it as an evaluation of self-reported quality of life satisfaction. Six key variables were used to help explain international variation in happiness: GDP per capita, social support, healthy years of life expectancy, freedom to make life choices, generosity and freedom from corruption.  Countries found to have the highest ranking of happiness (2013 – 2015) included Denmark (1), Switzerland (2), Iceland (3), Norway (4) and Finland (5). The countries with the lowest rankings of happiness were Benin (153), Afghanistan (154), Togo (155), Syria (156) and Burundi (157). Full results here. While the World Happiness Report does not measure mental health per se, the Report has some interesting findings. Social support, income and healthy years of life expectancy were found to be the largest contributors to the differences in happiness between the top 10 and bottom 10 countries. In particular, the underlying social fabric of a society, including quality of social capital, was found to be integral to resilience in the face of a crisis, such as an economic crisis or natural disaster; indeed, in the event of such a crisis, the Report suggests that where there is good social support, people’s happiness may actually increase as a function of being able to work together with others towards a common good. The rise in scientific and policy interest in sustainable happiness is evident. Countries such as Bhutan, Ecuador, United Arab Emirates and Venezuela have even designated ministers to coordinate their national efforts, and the concept of achieving ‘happy’ populations is increasingly a focus of citymakers around the world. By underlining the importance of good social support in achieving population-level happiness, this Report shows the potential for urban designers to play an active role in helping improve happiness in communities through pro-social design that enables opportunities for positive social interactions among local communities. This #WorldHappinessDay that's worth thinking about. About the Author

My wish right now is that God should continue to bless Dr Emu for his good works towards the life of those people who are heart broken. My name is Michael DeBruin and I am from the USA, it's been a while since my lover's attitude changed from being the caring type she has been to me, but later turned out not to be caring at all. But not long, I later discovered that my lover was having an affair with someone else. and also she told me she doesn't need me after all we pass through then a friend told me about a spell caster. that with the spell I will get back my woman, I took his cell number then called him and also what's-app him which he reply to me and I did some sacrifices to the spell man and he bought the items for me which he used for the sacrifices and later called me that before 48 hours my love will come back to me and now we are more in love with each other than ever. you can reach him on WhatsApp +2347012841542 or reach him via mail ; emutemple@gmail.com , my lover returned back and broke up with the other guy she was having a relationship with... Thank you Dr Emu.

I feel so blessed again in my marriage after PRIEST OSAS brought back my husband that separated with me for good 3 months. ANNY ROBERT by name from California. Even though I have mouths all over my body, it won't be enough to thank PRIEST OSAS for his help in my life. My husband separated with me for 3 months and has been in pain and agony without him. So, I searched for help everywhere but nothing worked out not until I meant PRIEST OSAS who I contacted online. I explained my situation to him and he promised that my husband will get back to me within 24 to 48 hours so that my heart still beats for him. I believed in him and he prepared a spell for me and my husband called me exactly when PRIEST OSAS said. He pleaded and said he needs me back and now we are living happily again for the past 9 months. Everyone out there reading my article that needs help should contact him...

I never knew people still have powers and make things happen this way. I am John Joyce from the USA. My husband left me and my child for another girl three years ago, ever since then my life has been filled with pains, sorrow and trauma because he was my first love and we have been together for years and couldn't imagine my life without him. I saw some testimonies about a great spell caster DR PATRICK and how he helps people around the world, that he can bring back lover within some few days, initially I laughed it off and said I am not interested but due to the love I have for my man I consulted the great spell caster and to my greatest surprise after two days my husband called me for the very first time after three years that he is missing me and that he is so sorry for every thing he made me went through, that he wants me back, we are going to spend our life together and promise never to leave me and my child again. I still can't believe my eyes, because it's highly unbelievable, it's just too good to be true. All I can say is thank you DR PATRICK for bringing back my husband to me and my child and for anyone who might need the help of this great spell caster please permit me to drop his mail here drpatrickspellcaster@gmail.com you can call the great man or you whatsApp him+1 (662) 493 2087 his https://drpatrickspellcast.blogspot.com https://www.facebook.com/Drpatrickspellcaster11

Save Your Relationship and Get Your Ex Boyfriend/Girlfriend Back! contact: +1(662)-493-2087 is certainly the best spell caster online and his result is 100% guarantee… I don't know how to really thank Dr. PATRICK for what he did for me. My Name is Libby Eva from the UK, i have been dating this man who I loved very much for over four years now without any problem in our relationship. so at a point he changed so suddenly after returning from the office and started behaving so strangely. it even got to the extent that he told me it was over and i should never call him again. This was a person that loved me with everything that he had. When I told my friend Jenny what happened, she introduced me to a great spell caster called DR PATRICK, the chief priest of all spell caster. At first sight this man told me all my problems. It was his secretary that used a charm on him. Dr PATRICK told me not to worry that he will help me solve the problem. The following day, I was in the house in a sober mood when I first received a message from my boyfriend that he was very sorry and before I dropped the phone, he called me again to say he was on his way home and that he was truly sorry for everything. To my greatest surprise, one week later he engaged me and we got married. All Thanks to DR PATRICK. You can contact him through the following means

Life has not been easy with me after my marriage was broken when my husband filled for a divorced but I thank God for using LORD ZAKUZA who's like a God on Earth to get my broken marriage restored with his powerful spell. I suffered for depression for 6 months but today, I am so happy for getting to know LORD ZAKUZA for his spell has really made me to believe that of a truth spells are real and they work. I adhered to every bit of instructions given to me by LORD ZAKUZA for he promised me that he will make me happy and proud and really, all that happened and my husband came back to me with his knees on the ground begging me for forgiveness within 48 hours after I got in touch with him and now we are perfectly bonded again for life. I can boldly say to everyone out there that LORD ZAKUZA spells is really the best and most powerful. I'm forever grateful to him till the end of time. So, you can get connected with him on WhatsApp/Call with this number +1 (740) 573-9483.

After being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don’t believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr Zuma zuk and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there.

When I found Dr. SAKOMO I was in desperate need of bringing my ex lover back. He left me for another man. It happened so fast and I had no say in the situation at all. He just dumped me after 3 years with no explanation. I contact Dr.SAKOMO through his website and He told me me what i need to do before he can help me and i did what he told me to, after i provided what he wanted, he cast a love spell to help us get back together. Shortlay after he did his spell, my boyfriend started texting me again and felt horrible for what he just put me through. He said that I was the most important person in his life and he knows that now. We moved in together and he was more open to me than before and then he started spending more time with me than before. Ever since Dr. SAKOMO helped me, my partner is very stable, faithful and closer to me than before. I highly recommends Dr. SAKOMO to anyone in need of help.

I am very happy to share these great testimonies,The best thing that has ever happened in my life is how I won the lottery. I am a man who believes that one day I will win the lottery. Finally my dreams came through when I emailed Dr Lucas and told him I needed the lucky numbers to win the lottery. I spend so much money on tickets just to make sure I win. But I never knew there was always something behind every lucky winner until the day I met Dr Lucas online, which so many people have talked about that he is very great when it comes to casting lottery spells, so I decided to give him a try. I contacted this great Dr Lucas and he did a spell and gave me the winning lottery numbers. But believe me when the draws came out I was among the lucky winners. I won 30 million dollars. with this great man you can win millions of dollars through the lottery. I am very happy to meet this great man, I will be forever grateful to you Dr Lucas, if you are looking for the best way to win the lottery you can reach Dr Lucas via his Email: drlucasspelltemple@gmail.com
