What makes a happy country?

Happiness may seem like an obscure concept to measure – but the folks at the United Nations' Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) have it down to a science. Consulting with representatives from the fields of economics, psychology, health and more, SDSN has analyzed a whole lot of data to actually show what well-being looks like around the world.

With the publication of SDSN's third World Happiness Report, we're getting a refreshed look at the world's happiest countries and what we can learn from each of them.
