They do a world well-being chart to map happiness for some reason and the UK only ranked 70th out of 71 countries in terms of mood, outlook on life and self-esteem in 2023, scoring only 49 on the mental well-being.
What they have discovered there is that we Brits love to moan and all that practice means we’re really good at it. Give us the sixth biggest economy in the world and we can still moan like former members of the Soviet Union.
The global average well-being score was 65 but remember there’ll be those really positive American types skewing that upwards.
It’s not good to see Uzbekistan and the UK with similar scores. It’s a depressing place with a weak economy and corrupt leaders, but it’s the UK and it’s where we live.
At the top of the chart impoverished African and Latin American countries scored the highest, with the Dominican Republic ranking first and Tanzania third.
The other key trend the researchers noticed is that mental well-being is worse in younger age groups in every country where people are able to access the Internet.
I’m not sure the web is to blame. If Internet access made you sad Talk Talk customers would be the happiest people in the UK.
