The State of Global Emotions

Every year, the Global Emotions Report endeavors to quantify at the country level whether people are enjoying life and learning new and interesting things, and if they feel well rested or if they feel extreme stress, sadness, worry or physical pain.

In short, the report provides a measure of everything that makes life worth living and gives leaders insights into the emotional health of their societies that they can't get from economic measures like GDP alone.
