If you're searching for more happiness in your life, you might want to move to Finland.
For the second consecutive year, the small Nordic nation takes the top spot as the happiest country in the world.
The annual United Nations ranking takes into account economic wealth, life expectancy, social support, freedom to make life choices and levels of government corruption.
Researchers said the country of 5.5 million has succeeded in generating a happiness recipe for a balanced life not simply dependent on economic and material wealth.
The World Happiness Report, produced by the U.N Sustainable Development Solutions Network, ranks 156 countries by how happy their citizens see themselves to be.
The index showed the other Nordic countries did well again this year, with Denmark, Norway and Iceland taking the next spots. The remaining top ten nations were The Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, New Zealand, Canada and Austria.
India comes only at position 140. United States is on 19th place and United Kingdom, 15th.
