 Are you happy? What does it even mean to be happy? Many people think that being happy is the most important thing in life. The U.S. Constitution says that the pursuit of happiness is one of our rights as an American. Even the United Nations thinks that happiness is important. Since 2011, the U.N. has been tracking the happiness of countries around the world in a project they call the World Happiness Index. Here are what they measure happiness on. 1. Spending power. 2. Health and life expectancy. 3. Social support, which means having someone to count on. 4. Freedom to make life choices. 5. Freedom from corruption. 6. How generous one acts and feels.
