The recently released World Happiness Report ranks Finland as the happiest country for the ninth consecutive year, while highlighting the negative impact of social media on well-being, particularly among young people. Countries such as the UK, Canada, and the US continue to struggle, with the US notably moving up in rankings but still facing dissatisfaction among its youth. The report reveals that heavy social media usage contributes significantly to declining happiness rates, suggesting that American teens, who spend an average of five hours daily on these platforms, experience decreased well-being. Meanwhile, Costa Rica and Israel also score high in happiness, showcasing a diverse global picture where social systems and personal rituals play a crucial role in fostering happiness.
