What is the Happiest Country on Earth?

Beschreibung

In "What is the Happiest Country on Earth," Kevin B DiBacco explores the surprising findings of the 2024 World Happiness Report, challenging conventional wisdom about prosperity and contentment. The book reveals that the United States has fallen out of the top 20 happiest nations (to 23rd place) for the first time, while Finland maintains its crown for the seventh consecutive year despite having a fraction of America's wealth.DiBacco's analysis uncovers that happiness manifests differently across generations and cultures. Finland, despite its overall top ranking, doesn't lead in happiness for either those under 30 or over 60. Instead, Lithuania emerges as the leader in youth happiness, while Denmark excels in senior wellbeing.The book examines the alarming 20% increase in global happiness inequality over the past dozen years—a metric that impacts societal wellbeing even more than income inequality. Most concerning is the youth happiness crisis in developed nations, with the United States ranking 62nd for those under 30 while remaining in the top 10 for those over 60.Beyond identifying problems, DiBacco explores successful models from around the world and offers solutions at policy, community, and individual levels. The book concludes that truly successful societies focus less on maximizing happiness for select groups and more on reducing unhappiness across the population.This essential read transforms complex happiness data into accessible insights for policymakers, community leaders, and individuals seeking to understand and improve wellbeing in their communities and personal lives.

The Old Kingdom of Egypt - The...

Omar Khalil

The Old Kingdom of Egypt, often referred to as the “Age of the Pyramids,” marks one of the most prosperous and significant periods in the history of ancient Egypt. This era, which lasted from around 2686 to 2181 BCE, witnessed the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under a single ruler and the establishment of the pharaoh as the central figure of both politics and religion. It was a time when the foundations of the Egyptian state were solidified, and the monumental pyramids, including the Great Pyramid of Giza, were built.
The rise of the Old Kingdom began with the third dynasty, following the unification of Egypt by King Narmer (also known as Menes). Narmer’s victory over the rival kingdoms of Upper and Lower Egypt not only led to the establishment of the first dynasty but also laid the groundwork for the idea of divine kingship. The pharaoh, believed to be the living god Horus, became the supreme ruler, a position that was both political and religious. This divine status provided the pharaoh with unquestionable authority, ensuring stability and order across the kingdom.
Throughout the Old Kingdom, the notion of kingship was reinforced through monumental construction projects, such as the construction of step pyramids and later the smooth-sided pyramids that are so emblematic of ancient Egypt. The earliest monumental stone structure, the Step Pyramid of Djoser, built during the third dynasty, symbolized the pharaoh’s ability to control nature and destiny. These impressive structures were not just tombs for the pharaohs but also symbols of their eternal power and the journey to the afterlife.

The Travel Bog Diaries - One...

Liz Deacle

Meet Liz. Mother of two teenage kids and wife of Brian.
Faced with midlife & realising that unless she gets her skates on, she'll never get to live out her fantasy of travelling the world with her family (and be like that woman from Eat, Pray Love), Liz plans a year-long globetrotting trip.
Annoyingly, things don't quite go as expected.
This is probably because Liz is slightly deluded & chooses to ignore the fact that her husband has acid reflux & can't eat anything foreign, & her teenage children would rather scroll funny Snapchat videos than look at old things in Europe.
From an ill-fated yoga class in India, ancient ruin humiliation in Italy, to getting sloshed at a charity festival in rural England, Liz’s endless mishaps and hysterical far-flung flops make for an unforgettable experience that no family could ever forget.
Even if they wanted to.
Armed with humour, optimism, this feel-good hilarious pee-your-pants, laugh-out-loud memoir will have you changing your life and racing to book your next adventure.
Prepare to laugh, cry & curl your toes.
Clench those buttocks, fellow traveller. We're off on a (real) family vacation...!
What readers are saying:
"…brilliantly entertaining writing…read it all in one sitting..."
"... Bridget Jones crossed with Eat, Pray, Love...a wickedly funny delight!..."

Wild Enthusiasm - A Very British...

Steve Wright

No need to travel halfway round the globe to spot iconic wildlife – it's right here on our doorstep in the UK and Steve Wright, keen amateur naturalist, travels from the Isle of Man to Norfolk, to the Orkneys, Northern Ireland and everywhere in-between on his various short holiday expeditions, clutching his specific wildlife wish-list for each trip.  
The result is an inspiring and engaging diary of his personal encounters with white-tailed eagles, otters, bottlenose dolphins, fulmars, puffins, osprey, sand lizards, even red-necked wallabies. And the characters he meets on the way. He hears snipe drumming, watches a shrew in Wales, admires pilot whales off Lewis.  
Steve's wildlife travel diaries give excellent practical tips, such as bird-hide etiquette, how to identify birds on the wing, how to consult local wildlife rangers about what might be spotted on each outing and where to find that species.  
But most importantly his highly-readable wildlife travels are a call to others to book themselves in to pubs and small hotels the length and breadth of Britain and follow his example, for a series of fun British wildlife safaris.
