It is the happiest country in the world while Burundi in Africa is the most unhappy, according to a report by a British scientist. Adrian White, an analytical social psychologist at the University of Leicester in central England, based his study on data from 178 countries. White said, ‘We’re looking much more at whether you are satisfied with your life in general, whether you are satisfied with your situation and environment. ‘The main factors that affected happiness were health provision, wealth and education, according to White who said his research had produced the ‘first world map of happiness.’ Following behind Denmark came Switzerland, Austria, Iceland and the Bahamas. The United States came in at 23rd; Britain was in 41st place, Germany 35th and France 62nd. ‘Smaller countries tend to be a little happier because there is a stronger sense of collectivism and then you also have the aesthetic qualities of a country,’ White said. White said, ‘We were surprised to see countries in Asia scoring so low, with China 82nd, Japan 90th, and India 125th. These are countries that are thought as having a strong sense of collective identity(集体主义信仰) which other researchers have associated with well-being. ‘ White admitted collecting data based on well-being was not an exact science, but said the measures used were very reliable(可靠的 ) in predicting health and welfare outcomes. 68.

The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress. [ ◆Try physical activity When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity. Running, waling, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. ◆Take care of yourself You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and can’t sleep well enough, or if you’re not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor. ◆Make time for yourself Schedule time for both work and entertainment. Don’t forget, playing can be as important to you over-all well-being as working. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun. Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy. ◆Make a list of the things you need to do Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that ‘there’s not much to do, and not enough time’. Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, and then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed. Set out to do the most important tasks first.
