Podcasts about World Happiness Report

Ever feel like no matter what you achieve, it's never quite enough? You hit the goal, get the thing, close the deal, and then almost immediately your brain moves the target again. You're not lazy. You're not ungrateful. You're just infected. And in this episode, we talk about exactly that. In this solo episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I break down what I call the More Disease, the hedonic treadmill that keeps high achievers stuck in a cycle of wanting more money, more followers, more stuff, more achievements, without ever actually feeling fulfilled. This episode isn't about toxic positivity or telling you to want less. It's about getting honest with yourself, backed by real science and real data, so you can finally understand why chasing more keeps leaving you empty, and what to focus on instead. Here's the big shift: the villain isn't ambition. It's misdirected ambition. Most of us are running harder and staying in the same spot emotionally, because we're chasing things that science already proves won't bring lasting happiness. The cure isn't deprivation. It's redirection toward the things that actually move the needle on fulfillment. A few key takeaways from this episode: Money is a tool, not a cure. Research from Princeton, Penn, and a joint 2023 study all point to the same truth. If you're unhappy, more income won't fix it. Past a certain threshold, you'd have to double your earnings just for a tiny bump in satisfaction. Money buys you options, and options are beautiful. But it won't buy you peace. Social media is engineered to keep you wanting more. The 2026 World Happiness Report found that more than five hours a day on social media links directly to lower well-being, more stress, and more depression. It was built like a slot machine, wired to trigger the same novelty craving. The wildest stat? Most US college students wish it didn't exist, but keep using it because everyone else does. Your stuff owns you more than you own it. Study after study shows high materialism links to lower life satisfaction. Buying things to fill a void doesn't fill it, it just makes the void louder. Past a point, your possessions cost you your time, your attention, and your peace. Presence is the actual cure. A Harvard study tracking over 2,000 people found that our minds wander 47% of the time, and that wandering is what makes us unhappy. How present you are predicts your happiness better than what you're actually doing. The things that bring the most genuine joy, real connection, movement, nature, being fully in the moment, none of them are for sale. Define your true freedom number. Enough isn't a feeling that shows up on its own. You have to define it. Get crystal clear on what financial and creative freedom actually look like for you. When you hit it, celebrate it. Stop moving the goalpost. Measure yourself against where you've been, not some ever-shifting version of where you think you should be. At the end of the day, this episode is a reminder that Happy Hustlin' isn't about doing more. It's about being more present with what you already have, while you build toward what you actually want. The cure to the More Disease lives inside you, not in the next purchase, the next milestone, or the next follower count. If you're a high achiever who's tired of the treadmill and ready to feel genuinely fulfilled while still going after your goals, this episode is for you.

It's rather obvious Americans have not exactly been … cheerful for the last few years. And it's showing up in the data – the General Social Survey, the Consumer Sentiment Survey from the University of Michigan, the World Happiness Report, and even the Federal Reserve all report that Americans are less happy than they were a decade ago. Whether that's with their jobs, the economy, the state of the world – no matter the metric, Americans are not having it. To find out why we're feeling down, we spoke with Derek Thompson. He's the co-author of the book "Abundance," and he writes a popular Substack called, well, Derek Thompson.And in headlines, President Donald Trump is once again threatening Iran via Truth Social, House Speaker Mike Johnson talks about the administration's priorities, and Taiwan's president stresses the importance of arms purchases from the United States.Show Notes: Check out Derek's piece –https://tinyurl.com/zzsjpf7a Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Australia's ban on social media for anyone under 16 isn't working. It's not even close says world renowned behavioral economist and Harvard Law School professor Dr Cass Sunstein. He's one of the authors of a new working paper that argues compliance has to reach a tipping point for the ban to work, a point when not going on TikTok and Instagram and all the other apps is the new normal and that's not happening. Dr Sunstein is also part of a team of researchers examining the link between social media and wellbeing in the World Happiness Report. Just like Australian teenagers, many of us use social media even though we know it's not good for us, because everyone else is. He explains what he calls the "product trap", the way certain platforms are designed to pull us in, and we let them, even when we suspect we'd be happier without them.

We start this morning with something you already know: the number of New Zealanders moving to Australia is at its highest level in 12 years. And most of those moving are going to Australia – around 58% of those who are leaving say they're heading for Oz. Yet in the World Happiness Report, in terms of happiness, we rank ahead of Australia. We're 11th happiest, they come in at number 15 – the Nordic countries always take out the top spots. The report suggests New Zealand's more equal and less corrupt than Australia with greater freedom and social support, but these positives appear to be outweighed by per capita GDP. And if you're looking for reasons why 58% of those leaving New Zealand are moving to Oz, follow the money, honey. When you feel like you're being ground down by life, that you're working every hour God sends but you're not getting anywhere, it would be very tempting to see the pot of gold at the end of a short three hour flight across the ditch as the answer to everything. And sometimes it is. But there are downsides. Jack Tame looked at the reasons why the people he interviewed had left for Australia, what the advantages were, what the disadvantages were, and found that despite the money and the sun, the grass isn't always greener. James Houston left Palmerston North and the New Zealand Police, one of those we were talking about yesterday, to join the Queensland Police Service. “I did about six years back home in New Zealand in Palmerston North before resigning and coming over here. You've got the lifestyle, you've got the sun, you've got better pay. I think I increased my salary coming over here by about 60% and that's without any overtime. I've got two other officers here at Ferny Grove from my actual station back in Palmerston North, so it's not only me coming over to do it, it's a lot of other people. Some of the challenges I'd say is, you know, you don't have your family support around, especially in a role like this. In all honesty, mate, if we were to get the same perks back home as what we have over here, like you get a better salary, you know, you're looked after a bit better, I'd give up the sunshine, I'd give up the lifestyle. There'd be no doubt in my mind, mate, I'd go home.” That was James Houston speaking on Jack Tame's 1News special, “You, Me and Aussie”. And that's the thing though, isn't it? Like 60% more in your salary, we're never ever going to be able to offer that sort of money. Australia's economy is so much bigger than ours, there are so many more people, and their money is based on things that we won't countenance in this country, like mining. So we're not going to be able to pay the sort of money and that's the sacrifice you make. You know, as James said, he would he would give it up in a heartbeat if he got the same money back home because of the family support he gets. But he's not going to get that money, so that's the trade off. My kids sacrificed money for lifestyle, friends, and family support. They were living in London, they always said they would come home when they started a family. And selfishly, I'm very, very glad they did, although they had to weigh it up. They were earning really good money in the UK, but once they had kids, they wanted to come home. Money's important, very, very important, but so too are family ties and friendship groups. I've never lived and worked in Australia or indeed any other country, but I have many friends and family members who have, and it's family and friends that brought them back. As Jack's show referenced, it can be really lonely moving to a new country, especially if you don't have children. If you've got the children, then you can tend to meet people through the school groups, but if you don't have children, all you've got is your healthy salary. You have to work for it too. You know, those who are working in the mines, it is not a doddle. You have to be strong and you have to have a strong relationship to be able to withstand that. If you have no one but each other to share the good times with, it can be really, really tough. You've got the story of the police officers moving to Australia and the interview with James on Jack Tame's show last night. You've got New Zealanders moving to Oz at the highest level it's been in more than a decade. For those who have family and friends over there, how are they finding it? If you are over there and listening in Oz, and I know there's a number who are, how are you finding it? And if you are young and you are grinding away, why aren't you there yet? Why haven't you made the leap across the ditch? If you can earn 60% more than you're earning in this country? There's no way you can compete on money. No way New Zealand can. So what is keeping you here? And for those who've been and gone and worked in Oz and come home, what brought you back? Those who have made the move to Oz, love to hear from you or your friends and family. Those who haven't gone, what is keeping you here? For me, when all my friends were heading overseas to live and work, do the big OE, I had a job on Fair Go. I was 20/21 had a great job in television, then at 23 I was pregnant, so I wasn't going anywhere. And then once you have a child, it's somewhat more difficult to move. So if you are still in New Zealand, you know, sort of transferring money between accounts as you wait for payday, what's keeping you here? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Based on data from a new Gallup World Poll used to put together the 2026 World Happiness Report, young people are less happy than they were a decade ago, with heavy social media use linked to lower life satisfaction and higher levels of stress and sadness. The data shows that declines in interpersonal trust, institutional trust, perceived social activity and social meeting frequency account for much of the wellbeing loss among Gen Z and millennials. With young Americans more digitally connected than ever yet seemingly overall feeling lonelier than ever, how can we turn that around and rebuild human connections that lead to greater happiness? Mimi Nicklin, a global empathy advocate and best-selling author on human connection, stopped by to discuss!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Young Canadians are now less happy than seniors, and the gap is getting worse.The latest World Happiness Report shows Canadians under 30 have fallen to 71st in the world for life satisfaction, while Canada's overall ranking has dropped from 5th to 25th. In this episode, Mike Moffatt and Cara Stern break down what's driving the decline — from housing affordability and falling “option freedom” to expectations, social media, and why the drop is concentrated in countries like Canada, the U.S., the U.K., and Australia.We also explain how the World Happiness Report actually works, why expectations matter as much as income, and what policy choices may be making young Canadians feel like they're playing by a different set of rules.Chapters00:00 Intro: The U-Shape of Happiness and Midlife Crisis00:51 Canada's New Phenomenon: Young Adults Are Less Happy01:48 From 5th to 25th: Canada's Global Happiness Ranking03:00 How Happiness is Measured: The Gallup Poll Ladder Question04:43 The Fundamental Equation of Happiness: Expectations vs. Reality06:11 Canada's Mixed Ratings: Inequality and "Option Freedom"07:18 Social Media's Impact: Passive vs. Communication Platforms08:50 The Real Solution: Fixing Middle Class Housing and Policy ChoicesResearch/links:World Happiness Report 2026 | The World Happiness Reporthttps://www.worldhappiness.report/ed/2026/Hosted by Mike Moffatt & Cara Stern & Sabrina MaddeauxProduced by Meredith MartinThis podcast is funded by the Neptis Foundation and brought to you by the Smart Prosperity Institute.

The latest edition of the annual World Happiness Report has been released, offering a fascinating insight into global well-being. Compiled by the Gallup World Poll in collaboration with the University of Oxford and the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, the report analyzes data from over 140 countries to determine where people are happiest. If you're familiar with the World Happiness Report or similar rankings, you won't be surprised to learn that European nations continue to dominate the list—especially the Nordic countries, which consistently rank among the happiest in the world. But what factors make a country happier than others? And which nations have climbed or dropped in the rankings this year? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

If birth rates are falling, is it really because people want fewer kids—or because they feel like they can't afford them?In this episode, Cara Stern and Mike Moffatt unpack the growing gap between “preference” and “choice” when it comes to starting a family. From the rising financial and social costs of raising children to the pressure of modern parenting norms, they explore why having kids today feels harder, even for people who say they want them. The conversation dives into everything from delayed careers and housing affordability to the hidden impact of social media, the “arms race” of parenting, and what we can learn from Quebec's subsidized childcare experiment.The big takeaway: there's no single cause and no single fix. But if we want a society where people can truly choose the family size they want, we may need to rethink everything from childcare and housing to culture itself.Research/links:Fertility Postponement, Economic Uncertainty, and the Rising Income Prerequisites of Parenthood – van Wijk and Billari (2024)https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/padr.12624Fertility Incentives in Canada: A Cohort Analysis – Lee and Liu (2024)https://clef.uwaterloo.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/CLEF-075-2024.pdfThe Role of Social Comparisons and Intensive Parenting – Mahler, Tertilt, and Yum, Brookings Papers on Economic Activity (2025)https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/5_Mahler_Tertilt_Yum_unembargoed.pdfNot Just Later, but Fewer: Novel Trends in Cohort Fertility in the Nordic Countries – Demography (2021)https://read.dukeupress.edu/demography/article/58/4/1373/174063/Not-Just-Later-but-Fewer-Novel-Trends-in-CohortWorkism and Fertility: The Case of the Nordics (2024)https://www.aei.org/articles/workism-and-fertility-the-case-of-the-nordics/The Effect of Family Fertility Support Policies on Fertility – Zhang et al.

Our guest,  Professor Jan-Emmanuel De Neve shares with us the top findings from the recently released 2026 World Happiness Report. He is Professor of Economics and Behavioural Science at the University of Oxford and Director of the Wellbeing Research Centre. A leading voice in the science of happiness and wellbeing, Jan's work brings data and empirical methods to questions once thought too subjective to measure. He has advised governments and international organisations on how to put wellbeing at the heart of public policy.Jan-Emmanuel tells us about the global country rankings, with a focus on the marked difference in ratings between nations like Finland and Afghanistan. He explains that Finland consistently ranks as the happiest country, attributing this success to their strong social support system, trust in institutions, and a deep connection to nature. He talks about the decline in British happiness rankings, particularly among younger generations facing unprecedented challenges related to economic instability and social media usage.Listen to our previous interview with Jan-Emmanuel's colleague Richard Layard here where he explained why governments should centre wellbeing in their policies. In the We Society, join acclaimed journalist and Academy president Will Hutton, as he invites guests from the world of social science to explore the stories behind the news and hear their solutions to society's most pressing problems.Don't want to miss an episode?

The latest edition of the World Happiness Report focuses on the effects of social media on well-being. In this episode of Live Happy Now, host Paula Felps sits down with Dr. Zeynep Özkök and Dr. Jonathan Rosborough, co-authors of one of the report's chapters, to unpack their research on internet use, trust, social connections, and emotional well‑being. They reveal why social media affects Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, and Boomers in dramatically different ways, and how online environments are reshaping foundational elements of happiness such as trust, safety, and real‑world social ties. In this episode, you'll learn: Why the impact of social media on well‑being varies sharply across generations. How Internet use is linked to declining trust, social comparison, and reduced in‑person connection.

It found that while happiness in New Zealand remains high - we rank 11th out of 147 countries, (and beating the likes of Australia, and the United States), when it comes to our young people, the news is very unhappy.

In the book “The Anxious Generation,” Jonathan Haidt, a social psychologist at New York University, argues that social-media platforms are detrimental to youths' well-being, and that society needs to treat them as literally addictive. It has spent nearly a hundred weeks on the New York Times best-seller list, and has helped galvanize a movement seeking limits to social media in legislatures, in school districts, and in the courts. David Remnick speaks with Haidt about an Australian law to verify the age of social-media users, the first of its kind in the world, and about lawsuits in California that are aiming to pin liability for harms on social-media companies themselves. Further reading:  “World Happiness Report 2026,” featuring a contribution from Jonathan Haidt and other researchers  “Mountains of Evidence,” by Jonathan Haidt Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Americans live in a constant stream of negative rhetoric—conflict-driven headlines, outrage cycles, and stories that emphasize corruption, failure, and division. Acts of generosity rarely trend.
