See if you can find the key parts of the following paragraph.

And The Happiest Place On Earth Is..., Morley Safer On Why The Danes Are Considered The Happiest People On Earth - CBS News:

"Over the past 30 years, in survey after survey, this nation of five and a half million people, the land that produced Hans Christian Andersen, the people who consume herring by the ton, consistently beat the rest of the world in the happiness stakes. It's hard to figure: the weather is only so-so,

they are heavy drinkers and smokers,

their neighbors, the Norwegians, are richer, and their other neighbors, the Swedes, are healthier."

As for other reasons, how about:

"...there's a very highly developed body language... Asked if it might be shyness, Dorset says, 'I don't know, it's considered a right by Danish people not to be talked to.'

...For example: they have no student loans hanging over their heads. All education is free in Denmark, right on through university. And students can take as long as they like to complete their studies.

...Denmark also provides free health care, subsidized child care and elder care, a social safety net spread the length and breadth of the country.

...the average work week is 37 hours, and workers get six weeks of vacation."

If only it weren't so cold. More at the link.
