People remain resilient despite COVID-19 pandemic, 2021 World Happiness report says
STOCKHOLM - The coronavirus brought a year of fear and anxiety, loneliness and lockdown, and illness and death, but an annual report on happiness around the world released Friday suggests the pandemic has not crushed people's spirits.The editors of the 2021 World Happiness Report found that while emotions changed as the pandemic set in, longer-term satisfaction with life was less affected."What we have found is that when people take the long view, they’ve shown a lot of resilience in this past year," Columbia University economist Jeffrey Sachs, one of the report's co-author, said from New York.FILE - A father and hi two daughters frolicking in the fresh snow off Highway 2 on March 11, 2021 in Wrightwood, California.
