Here’s another reason you might feel a slight unease, or restlessness – a topic I am exploring in depth right now. People who live in the U.S. enjoy a standard of well-being that is below that of countries including Panama, Canada, Denmark and Brazil, according to a survey published Tuesday by Gallup and Healthways, which provides wellness services to corporations and healthcare providers.
The survey examines five criteria:
Here is the top 10 list, with the percentage of residents who are “thriving” in at least three of those five criteria
The United States ranked No. 12 in global well-being.
“The percentage of American adults who are suffering in physical and community well-being is comparable to global levels,” the firm said, explaining the nation’s lower-than-expected ranking.
Gallup said it conducted face-to-face and telephone interviews with respondents in the 135 countries and regional areas. Approximately 1,000 interviews were conducted in the majority of countries, for a total of more than 133,000 interviews in 2013. Responses were then used to determine whether a country had high, medium or low levels of well-being in each of the five elements.
