The happiest people on earth: who are they?

"Happiness is a flight of the soul in a certain aspect of life circumstances," he wrote.
Venedikt Nemov.

Happiness is a magical and unexplored phenomenon. Everybody knows about its existence, but few can give an exact answer, what is happiness, and what are its main components. Perhaps the reason for the dilemma is that for each person it is something of its own. Guided by their own values, people build their own understanding. So, for example, a rich person can consider himself deeply unhappy because of the lack of true friends nearby, but the poor, on the contrary, will envy the wealth of a wealthy person.

Believe or not believe

There are people who do not believe in the existence of happiness or believe, but believe that it lasts only a moment. But who is the happiest person on earth? Or is it a whole group of people?

There are also those in the opinion of which this is only a moment of pleasure, having the habit of quickly ending. But which of them is right, you can not say for sure, and in general, whether it is necessary, because every person is free to think as he pleases. Are there any happiest people on earth who can see photos of us?

Frano Selak - the happiest person in the world

In the list "The happiest people on earth" the first place is occupied by Franz Selak, who lives in Croatia. The title of the happiest person on earth was given to him because of luck, which never left him for a day.

It turns out that Frano 7 times avoided death, in each case he was literally in the balance, but something always helped him. His first miraculous rescue came in the 60's. The train on which Frano traveled, got off the rails and went under the water. Despite the chilling cold and all the horror of the situation, he managed to get out and be among the survivors.

Frano Selak and happy flight

A few years later he was again in mortal danger. The plane, which flew our lucky, at landing touched the tail part of the summit of a low mountain. The door opened with a strong blow, and the only unbuttoned passenger and stewardess flew out. Simply Frano was always open for love, and, noticing a pretty stewardess, he decided to pay attention to her, so he followed her into the personnel booth that was in the tail section of the plane. They fell at a distance of 600 meters above the ground, Frano successfully landed in a large snowdrift, which saved his life.

Agree, the story is more like a plot of a fantasy film, because in real life such luck is very rare. The girl also managed to escape, she clung to the tree branch. The couple got married a year after they met. These two are the happiest people on earth. They not only miraculously survived, but also found their love under improbable circumstances.

Throughout his life, Frano skillfully escaped death and, like the real favorite of Fortune, even won a million dollars in the lottery. He spent the win for the reconstruction of the church, the construction of the chapel of the Virgin Mary and travel. The remainder was simply distributed to friends, explaining this by saying that simple pieces of paper should not be kept in a bank at his age. It is better to get the maximum pleasure from them and not regret anything.

Meditation as a way to be happy

The list "The happiest people on earth" can be entered and another person, 66-year-old monk, who dedicated his life to meditation and became an associate of the Dalai Lama. He claims that daily meditation makes him happy. This statement was very interesting to scientists, and they decided to personally check whether this is so.

Mathieu Ricare's brain scan was performed at the time of the monk's meditation with the help of 256 sensors attached to his head. During the study, it was found that the left prefrontal cortex of the brain at the time of reading the prayer is in activity. It is the activation of this zone that gives the monk a sense of happiness and joy. Mathieu Ricare is actually the happiest person on earth through meditation, which has been practiced for many decades.

The happiest people on earth

The history of these two is really amazing and unusual. They themselves certainly consider themselves lucky, but the title "the happiest people on earth" has already been given to them by reporters and journalists who described their history in their articles.

But not only individuals can be happy, confidently asserts Daniel Everett. For 30 years he lived surrounded by an Indian tribe of feasts. For all the time he lived among unusual, unlike the rest of the people of the tribe, he came to the conclusion that these aborigines are the happiest people on earth. Everett completely changed his judgments, renounced God and began a new life.

Change of name and fresh food

People of the tribe of the piraha stand out as an original idea of the world. First, they are not very polite. In their vocabulary there are no words like "thank you", "please", etc. They are afraid of sleeping for a long time, because they believe that you can lose yourself during sleep. And also often change their name. Usually 5-6 times in a lifetime, each name can refer to a certain age period.

They do not think about tomorrow, the writer was very surprised by this fact. Unlike other tribes, they do not prepare stocks, eating fresh food such as caught fish and fruits that are harvested in the forest. In their understanding, there is no one god, they believe only in the ghosts that live in their forests.

Happiness without worries

Daniel Everett for all the time he lived in the tribe realized that these people are carefree and happy. Life is not full of problems, they spend all the days around the campfire, enjoying food and dancing their unusual dances. Their main emotion on the face is joy, and laughter is heard round the clock.

But are the happiest people on earth who can go to another continent and live in a tribe of pirates? Of course not, because Daniel Everett, just like Mathieu Ricare, just found his happiness in something that is right for him.
