I think this is an interesting article:
Report: Nigeria No. 1 in happiness, U.S. ranks 16th
I need to remember their conclusion that the desire for material goods, which has increased hand in hand with average income, is a happiness suppressant. There's a part of me that knows that on one level, but sometimes I get so wrapped up in things, that I forget not to. It's a delicate balance.
I also think it's interesting that this morning it was in "Offbeat News," and by this afternoon had made its way to "World News"
I plan to read more about this World Values Survey.
