Ex-pat here. Once again, folks: Finland is way up there on "satisfaction" but it is not identical to whatever the report means by "happiness".
And in a glaring omission (IMO) there appears no mention of social cohesion and/or the social contract. These abstractions do make a difference. But at this point I wonder if they might be foreign concepts to many English-speaking readers.
