It's official, we are happier than the Aussies, but not as merry as the Scandinavians.
The latest version of the World Happiness Report was released today and good old New Zealand was placed eighth in the world, one ahead of Australia.
This year's update, produced by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), shows that Denmark is the happiest country in the world, the US is 13th and the UK doesn't even make the top 20.
Burundi was the most miserable, followed by war-ravaged Syria, Togo, Afghanistan and six other countries in sub-Saharan Africa - Benin, Rwanda, Guinea, Liberia, Tanzania and Madagascar - as the least happy of 157 countries.
The report compared data from 2005 to 2015 showing that Greece, which suffered enormously from the global recession and now faces a crippling migrant crisis, had the highest drop in happiness.
