Israel is now the happiest country in the world. But how did they do it? Let’s find the answers.Even though sandwiched between Muslim nations – their enemy for so many years – they are still happier and more peaceful than their counterparts.

Israel is a country in Western Asia. It has a total area of about 20 thousand square kilometers with more than seven million people. It is the 33rd richest country in the world in per capita GDP and has a parliamentary government system.

One thing that makes Israel the happiest is their spirituality. Almost two-thirds of the population are Jews and believe in God. As a matter of fact, 12 years of Bible schooling is mandatory.

They also love the Bible. For them, Bible is a word of hope in time of difficulties. There is an old Jewish joke that reinstates this:

Two elderly Jewish ladies are sitting on a park bench in St Petersburg, Florida. “Mrs Levy,” asks the first, “what do you hear from your son Isaac in Detroit?” “It’s just awful,” Mrs Levy replies. “His wife died a year ago and left him with two little girls. Now he’s lost his job as an accountant with an auto-parts company, and his health insurance will lapse in a few weeks. With the real estate market the way it is, he can’t even sell his

house. And the baby has come down with leukemia and needs expensive treatment. He’s beside himself, and doesn’t know what to do. But does he write a beautiful Hebrew letter – it’s a pleasure to read.”

Also, with their spirituality comes their fertility. Israel is one of the most productive countries in the world in terms of babies. In fact, the most religious Israelis are the most productive, producing nine kids averagely. Compare it to other Christian countries like Poland – who has the highest attendance at mass – possess the lowest birthrate in all of Europe.

Lastly, Israelis has a different and somewhat inspiring way of thinking. They do not think of death often or God’s judgement as they are sure they will live eternally and will never extinct. Moreover, it so easy for them
to talk about the wonders of life. It is like it is part of their tounges that speaking in a positive way seem so normal.
