The 2017 Global Emotions Report draws from the largest behavioral study of its kind, a project known as the Gallup World Poll. Gallup conducts rigorous surveys in 140 countries each year. Each survey is similar to a labor force survey -- but instead of asking, "Do you have a job?" we simply ask, "How is your life going?"

Also like unemployment statistics, the results from these questions are aggregated to produce national-level figures. The resulting metrics serve as macro-level gauges for the emotional and behavioral side of life.

Gallup's report gives leaders a picture of happiness and well-being in their countries and quantifies "what makes a life worth living."

Highlights from the 2017 report:

  • Along with Iranians (50%) and South Sudanese (47%), Iraqis (49%) were the angriest in the world.
  • More than 70% of people worldwide said they experienced a lot of enjoyment, smiled or laughed a lot, felt well-rested, and felt treated with respect.
  • People were far less likely to say they learned or did something interesting the day before the interview -- just 50% said this was their experience.
  • More of the world experienced physical pain in 2016 (30%) than in 2015 (28%).
  • Greeks (67%) were the most stressed in the world, while worry was highest in Central African Republic (72%) and Togo (71%).
