Toronto is missing but there's Vancouver? Okay... But Paris and London make the list? Confusing....

My first instinct was to look for Toronto

This list seems really wrong. How is san Francisco there with such a high homeless population?

Tokyo is number 5? Isn’t Japan super stressed out and over worked?

Visual Capitalist

Well there's your problem, you're uncritically accepting "data" about happiness from a group explicitly dedicated to an ideology that reliably motivates people to sacrifice the happiness and wellbeing of the vast majority of their fellow humans for the sake of profit

Very top of the methodology page:

"The recruitment process was conducted entirely in English and open to participants globally"

If your goal is open global participation why would you limit any part of the process to english speakers? Because you're full of shit, obviously.

As someone in Japan for a decade, there is no way Tokyo should be that high, especially post-corona and inflation
