In the quest to identify the happiest states in America, a recent study by WalletHub<\/a> identified 30 crucial components to living a happy life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decades of happiness research was utilized to identify the level of impact every aspect of daily life can have upon a person’s joy. Each contributing component can be categorized into three key dimensions: emotional and physical well-being, work environment, and community and environment.\u00a0Each metric received a grade on a 100-point scale, where a score of 100 signified the highest level of happiness. Ultimately, the weighted average for each state was computed across all metrics, determining its overall score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, Arizona is the 27th happiest state in the country, with a 53.48 total score. The Grand Canyon State scored 21 for Emotional and Physical Well-Being, 33 for Work Environment, and 23 for Community and Environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s dive deeper into what these three key dimensions of happiness mean for a joyful and fulfilling life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
