Every year, the United Nations puts together the World Happiness Report, which ranks a total of 156 countries. Key ingredients to happiness include longer healthy years of life, more social support, trust in government, higher GDP per capita, and generosity, according to National Geographic. This year, the list contains many repeats in the top 10 countries from 2017, though they are in a different order. The most notable move was Finland, who went from fourth place last year to first place this year, knocking out Norway. And in Finland, it is not only the residents who are happy, but the immigrants too, which is a new special focus in this year’s report. Here are the top 10 happiest countries:
1. Finland
2. Norway
3. Denmark
4. Iceland
5. Switzerland
6. Netherlands
7. Canada
8. New Zealand
9. Sweden
10. Australia
