Worldwide happiness has returned to pre-pandemic levels, and negative experiences are down for the first time since 2014, according to a new report.
  • Positive emotions globally are the highest since 2020 and negative emotions are down, per a Gallup report.
  • A survey of thousands of people in 142 countries found people are learning new things at record rates. 
  • Loneliness and stress are still a concern, but young people, in particular, are bouncing back. 

Don't be fooled by doomscrolling — there's more to be happy about than you might think, at least on a global scale.
