Joy Division


According to research (pointed out by The Economist), certain criteria makes one happier than others:
1. Married > single
2. Extroverted > introvert
3. Optimists > pessimists
4. Nurses > banker
5. Religious > atheist
6. Sexually active > virgin
7. College Grad > no education
8. Short commute to work > long commute to work

I only satisfy 3 of the 8 criteria listed. Well, 7 seeing that I don't really have to commute to work as of late.

Iceland and Switzerland are the happiest places on earth. Oddly, they are both ethnically homogeneous. Does this mean there are benefits to racism?
