Happiness update

Gallup's Eric Nielsen emails some links related to the Angus Deaton's happiness paper and Gallup's worldwide polling of human well-being.

I wanted to make sure that you knew that the Gallup study he drew from is actually an ongoing study. Annually we are in those 130+ countries gauging the well-being of the citizens. Amazing data and findings are constantly being written up.
Finally, in addition to the massive global poll we are also completing surveys with 1,000 adults every single night on the topics of well being, politics and personal economics. Of particular interest to you might be our economic monitoring.
