Gallup’s 2025 World Happiness Report crowns Finland the happiest country for the eighth year, with Nordic nations dominating the top spots. Finland’s high happiness stems from strong community trust, kindness, and generosity. The report highlights that believing in goodwill and sharing meals are stronger happiness predictors than wealth. Costa Rica (6th) and Mexico (10th) make the top 10 for the first time, while the U.S. drops to 24th. Acts of kindness have declined post-pandemic, raising concerns about future trends.
