I also found it difficult to accept in the midst of all the conflicting stories in the Danish media pointing to a high consumption of anti-depressants and high level of stress, just to mention two.
I decided to at least find out how "happiness" was being defined and measured in the survey. Turns out that one of my "old friends" Jeffery Sachs is one of the key researchers and authors. He is an amazing man - I have great respect for his work. And for his commitment to making the world a better place by driving UN initiatives. It is so easy to criticize the United Nations - most people tend to think of it only it terms of the Security Council, which was set up to "fail" in that decisions to be unanimous. It's a lot more than that. More about that later.
My previous postings have been about communication and more communication, negotiation, assertiveness and management. Now I am planning to shift course and get a better grasp on what being the happiest country in the world really means!
