Episode Details

The 2026 World Happiness Report reveals Finland as the happiest country for the ninth consecutive year, with Nordic nations dominating the top spots. Canada and the US slip in rankings, while no English-speaking nations crack the top ten. Heavy social media use, particularly among young people, negatively impacts well-being, with teenage girls in Canada, the US, Australia, New Zealand, and Western Europe experiencing a significant drop in life satisfaction scores. Costa Rica surges to fourth place due to strong social connections. Reducing social media use to less than an hour a day correlates with higher well-being, especially for young people in regions like the Middle East and Latin America.
