Iceland is best place in world to live?
Combine Europe’s highest birth rate, the world’s highest divorce rate, and the highest percentage of women working outside the home and you have the happiest country in which to live. Iceland garnered that title in Human Development Index rankings, a study conducted by the United Nations.
Although we are sure the United Nations had its heart in the right spot, any attempt to use global factors in determining happiness based on lifestyle cannot be successful. Happiness is relative to cultures with each culture defining happiness in a specific way. ¶ 5/24/2008
