Data Geek in Pursuit of Happiness

We all want to increase our happiness.  I found some data that shows the satisfaction levels of the people in several different countries and explored their satisfaction levels in terms of other dimensions in their lives: the relative wealth of nations, family life, and love of wine and chocolate.  Here is what I learned in my Data Geek Pursuit of Happiness.

      So we all know that money doesn't buy happiness...now wine...but chocolate?  Say it isn't so...

      🙂

      I still believe this great quote about chocolate from the 1970's

      Mary Richards: Oh Rhoda, chocolate doesn't solve anything.

      Rhoda Morgenstern: No Mare, cottage cheese solves nothing; chocolate can do it all!

      That's a great quote!

      I think my father who is a statistics professor might argue about the validity of my analysis - particularly when it comes to my conclusions on wine and happiness!
