There are certain nations which always top the rankings in the World Happiness Report. What are they doing right, that other countries are getting wrong? And what can you do to make your home country happier? John Helliwell of the World Happiness Report explains how things like wealth, freedom and friendship combine to make a happy society - and how tiny changes in your home, neighborhood or workplace can have a huge national impact.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  • Pushkin.

  • I hope you enjoyed our special episode celebrating the International Day of Happiness and the release of the World Happiness Report on March 20.

  • In case you missed it,

  • I asked several of my fellow Pushkin podcast hosts to pretend that they were an author on this year's World Happiness Report.

  • I asked each of them, what chapter would you write?

  • Okay, well, this one's really easy for me.

  • Mental chatter.

  • Oh, yeah.

  • I was objecting to the phrase, it's the journey, not the destination.

  • It's the journey and the destination.

  • It's the journey and the destination.

  • Yes, I'll buy that.

  • Well, the World Happiness Report 2024 is now finally out.

  • So for the next few episodes,

  • I'll be talking to the report's real authors about the issues they think are most pressing for the planet's well-being.

  • Unfortunately, many people never get a chance to learn about the full contents of the annual report,

  • because the headlines often focus on just one attention-grabbing part,

  • the annual country rankings of happiness around the world.

  • Which does kind of make sense.

  • I mean, we all want to know, how's my country doing?
