  1. The Netherlands – Happiness is a Number
  2. Switzerland – Happiness is Boredom
  3. Bhutan – Happiness is a Policy
  4. Qatar – Happiness is a Winning Lottery Ticket
  5. Iceland – Happiness is Failure
  6. Moldova – Happiness is Somewhere Else
  7. Thailand – Happiness is Not Thinking
  8. Great Britain – Happiness is a Work in Progress
  9. India – Happiness is a Contradiction
  10. America – Happiness is Home (Miami, Ashville, NC)
