John Carlin on why Iceland has the happiest people on earth | World news | The Observer
Highest birth rate in Europe + highest divorce rate + highest percentage of women working outside the home = the best country in the world in which to live.
See that little spec on the map in the North Atlantic? Maybe it is because of it physical isolation, but the 313,000 people seem to have benefited from the space. There is more than a critical mass of awareness about how to live, it is quite nearly everyone of them.
These people are happy because they are true to themselves, true to others, and true to their environment. To be fair they had a bit of a head start. In 930 A.D. they organized of the first parliaments, while the rest of the western world was still in the dark ages. In many ways it still is, with respect to the behaviour of may people toward: women, races, respect on to others, respect of the environment. Icelanders had a strong and stable structure that has gone on to build the many fine character traits the article discusses. In comparison, that is something that has just barely begun in Canada. Read, think, act accordingly.
