Editorial: The Pursuit of Happiness (And the Steady Decline Thereof)

The U.S. dropped from 15th happiest to 23rd. Wonder how that happened?

So the U.S. dropped to #23 in the World Happiness Rankings. We were #15 just two years ago. Meanwhile, Finland—stoic, sauna-loving Finland—is sitting smugly at #1 for, what, the seventh year in a row?

Apparently, universal healthcare, trust in government, and the right to go off-grid without anyone calling a wellness check do have a cumulative effect.

Meanwhile, we’re over here romanticizing burnout, subscribing to 12 streaming services, and doomscrolling our way to personal bests in anxiety. Is it any wonder our national mood has been downgraded like an old iPhone?
