I can relate to Eric. Overthinking, finding happiness, where is it, what is it, questioning everything. Ofcourse its subjective - Happiness. What it means for me is different for you. But by surveying multiple countries (here 10) he and I found what gives us happiness vs what doesn't.
I now know countries and people of Switzerland, Iceland and maybe Netherlands will make me happier since I align with the lifestyle and values of the region. Have always felt through my time in France and UK that Europe suits me (my sample set only includes US and India).

Fun fact - 1/10 people in Iceland have published a book, 5/10 read at least 8 books a year. Their education system is absolutely brilliant.
