Thanks to the Office of National Statistics there is an actual measure of happiness.
From ONS figures it seems: where you live matters; your level of material status is a factor; being in a relationship helps too. Having a secure stake in a local community is also positive.
If only promoting well being was as simple as wearing a badge, to show others they are welcome around you, because you are secure in yourself. Come to think of it, how do you create a sense of well being for yourself and others?
