A question to you guys who live in America or know about america. The supposed goal in America is to become rich. People think that wealthiness leads to a better life which leads to hapiness. As it is, the USA is the richest country in the world, no doubt. However when measured by hapiness here are the different study's:

Happy Planet Index Rating: 114th place (measured by hapiness and ecological footprint which offsets the data considering we have a huge egological footprint)

Happiness Net Statistics: 13th place

World Database of hapiness: 17th place

TimeNewsFeed: 12th place

So why then, if we are the richest and most powerful country in the world, do we not in any study rank below 10th place in happiness statistics? Ask yourselves that.
