Lebanon is not a happy place, that’s at least according to the new economics foundation (aka NEF).
Using the “Happy Planet Index” (HPI), NEF measured how happy are 143 researched countries, and Lebanon came in the 110th place!
Per their findings, we in Lebanon have a life expectency of 71.5 years, of which we live 33.7 years happily. Ya3neh we spend 37.8 years in misery (slow internet, no electricity, wars, explosions, Naser Qandil, etc…).
In addition, we scored 4.7/10 for Life satisfaction (though fi 3anna Skybar!!!), and we have an ecological footprint of 3.1.
You may download the full report containing the classification of all the researched countries in PDF from here, or in Excel from here.
Surely that can’t be very accurate! How does Palestine fair better than Israel, France, Australia, New Zealand?
Naser Qandil. LOL.
Can’t stop laughing. good one.
Although, sometimes he is the reason I plaster a smile or two across my face.
well i know where my happy hours are 😛
kayan 😛
lol i hope i am in my happy years now, and i will just die before the miserable ones, i will show em!
Marty, seriously? Palestine comes before israel, france australia and new zealand? seems like a very thorough study
tsk tsk tsk…no you’re ruining the image for the tourists who might read this..
Oh i forgot…we the people do not matter 😀
And Naser Qandil… HAHAHAHAHAHA 😀
Interesting results.. I think it’s because the Lebanese tend to nag too much and don’t appreciate all the positive sides of Lebanon. This must’ve led to the study deciding that the Lebanese aren’t happy. Funny the way you said it though 😀
lol
I don’t know if you guys also noticed that Saudi Arabia came in the 13th place also!
According to the formula they used, I believe the index measures how much do we “fight” for to live happily here!
We’re always concerned about securing 24/7 electricity, fuel for our vehicles… stuff like that.
I’m surprised though how Palestine came before Israel!
