The ranking is based on six criteria: national product, health expenditure, freedom of residents, generosity, social support and lack of corruption in government and business.
International Happiness Day is a useful reminder to all of us that general happiness does not necessarily stem from buying and consuming, or from being famous or glamorous - but often from friends, family and emotional well-being.
The commercials tell us that if we buy as much as possible we will be happy, the celebrities present us with a glamorous picture of beauty and happy smiles, but is it real? What really makes us happy?
In honor of Happy Day, we wish you a happy day!
March 20 is also French Macaron Day, Ravioli Day and World Frog Day
