     Report of Happiness

         In John Helliwell, Richard Layard, and Jeffrey Sachs informative "The World of Happiness Report"(2012), they express many methods that will help the human society. They discuss how happiness should play a big factor in the of process of policy-making. They touch on different topics of what effects a person well-being in order to establish what make a person happy. I say this report was intended to a vast audience.

I can relate to this report due to the recession we encounter these past years. They states "Unemployment reduces the happiness of those unemployed and also infects those who do have jobs with the fear of losing them"(104). The topics work, values, religion, education, mental and physical contributes a lot to one's happiness.  The four pillar seems to be a point where it can improve our nation.
