Show Notes

Finland retains the title of the worlds happiest country in the 2026 World Happiness Report, with Nordic nations dominating the top ten. Heavy social media use, particularly among young people, has led to a significant drop in well-being, affecting teenage girls the most. Costa Rica climbs to fourth place due to strong social connections. Life satisfaction ratings have decreased for young people in certain regions, with excessive social media use contributing to lower well-being. The rise of algorithm-driven platforms and influencers fuels harmful comparisons, prompting countries to consider restrictions for minors.
