- there were many statistics that showed that the richer countries were the happier
- many facets of everyday life were seen with more satisfaction among the citizens of the richer countries
- however, there were also examples that showed how quality beat quantity
- ex: people would rather be the commoners in the land of the rich than the richest of the poor
- changing the question asked to the people being surveyed kept the results essentially the same
- ex: Japan did this and although its people were becoming happier, the surveys indicated otherwise
