"Happiness is the flight of the soul in a certain aspect of life circumstances," wrote

Venedict Nemov.

Happiness is a magical and unexplored phenomenon by science. Everyone knows about its existence, but few can give an exact answer to what happiness is and what are its main components. Maybe the reason for the dilemma is that for each person it is something different. Guided by their life values, people build their own understanding. So, for example, a rich person may consider himself deeply unhappy due to the lack of true friends nearby, but a poor person, on the contrary, will envy the we alth of a we althy person.

Believe it or not believe it

There are people who do not believe in the existence of happiness or believe, but believe that it lasts only a moment. But who is the happiest person on earth? Or is it a whole group of people?

There are also those who think it's just a moment of pleasure, which has a habit of ending quickly. But which of them is right, it is impossible to say for sure, and in general, whether this is necessary, because each person is free to think as he pleases. Are there the happiest people on earth whose photos we can see?

Frano Selak is the happiest man in the world

In the list of "The happiest people on earth", the first place is occupied by Frano Selak, who lives in Croatia. The title of the happiest person on earth was given to him because of the luck that never left him.

It turns out that Frano escaped death 7 times, in each case he was literally in the balance, but something always helped him. His first miraculous rescue happened back in the 60s. The train Frano was traveling on derailed and went under water. Despite the freezing cold and all the horror of the situation, he managed to get out and be among the survivors.

Frano Selak and happy flight

After a few years, he again found himself in mortal danger. The plane, which our lucky man was flying, touched the top of a low mountain during landing. A strong blow opened the door, and the only unbelted passenger and the stewardess flew out. It's just that Frano was always open to love, and, noticing a pretty stewardess, he decided to take care of her, so he followed her to the staff cabin, which was located in the tail section of the plane. They fell at a distance of 600 meters above the ground, Frano successfully landed in a large snowdrift, which saved his life.

Agree, the story is more like the plot of a science fiction movie, because in real life such luck is very rare. The girl also managed to escape, she caught on a branchtree. The couple got married a year after they met. These two are the happiest people on earth. They not only miraculously escaped, but also found their love under incredible circumstances.

Throughout his life, Frano skillfully avoided death and, as a real favorite of Fortune, even won a million dollars in the lottery. He spent the winnings on the reconstruction of the temple, the construction of the chapel of the Virgin Mary and travel. He simply distributed the rest to his friends, explaining that simple pieces of paper should not be kept in a bank at his age. Better to get the most out of them and not regret anything.

Meditation as a way to be happy

The list of "The happiest people on earth" can also include one more person, a 66-year-old monk who devoted his life to meditation and became a close associate of the Dalai Lama. He claims that daily meditation makes him happy. Scientists were very interested in this statement, and they decided to check with their own eyes whether this is true.

Mathieu Ricard's brain scan was performed while the monk was meditating with 256 sensors attached to his head. In the course of the study, it was found that the left prefrontal cortex of the brain is in activity at the time of reading a prayer. It is the activation of this zone that gives the monk a feeling of happiness and joy. Mathieu Ricard is truly the happiest person on earth thanks to meditation he has been practicing for many decades.

The happiest people on earth

The story of these two is really amazing and unusual. They certainly consider themselves lucky, but the title of "the happiest people on earth" has already been given to them by reporters and journalists who described their story in their articles.

But not only individuals can be happy, says Daniel Everett confidently. For 30 years he lived surrounded by the Indian tribe of Pirah. For all the time he lived among the unusual, unlike the rest of the people of the tribe, he came to the conclusion that these natives are the happiest people on earth. Everett completely changed his mind, renounced God and began a new life.

Name change and fresh food

The people of the Pirahã tribe are distinguished by their peculiar idea of the world. First, they are not particularly polite. They do not have words such as “thank you”, “please”, etc. in their vocabulary. They are afraid to sleep for a long time, because they believe that during sleep you can lose yourself. They also change their name often. Usually 5-6 times in a lifetime, each name can refer to a specific age period.

They don't think about tomorrow, the writer was very surprised by this fact. Unlike other tribes, they do not stock up, living on fresh food such as wild-caught fish and fruits that are harvested from the forest. In their understanding, there is no single god, they only believe in ghosts that live in their forests.

Happiness without worries

Daniel Everett for all the time living in the tribe realized that these peoplecarefree and happy. Life is not filled with problems, they spend all their days by the fire, enjoying food and dancing their unusual dances. Their main emotion on their face is joy, and laughter is heard around the clock.

But are the happiest people on earth really those who can go to another continent and live in a Pirahã tribe? Of course not, because Daniel Everett, like Mathieu Ricard, just found his happiness in something that was right for him.

Russia is not among the nine "happy countries". First of all,due to the low standard of living of the middle class of the population, and secondly, due to the cultural failure in recent years.

In general, happiness is something different for every person. Some people are content with what little they have.
