Humans in older cultures made many species extinct. Also the author seems to have some kind of issue with religious people despite the most happy societies being deeply religious, usually Christian and sometimes Buddhist, these cultures are much more family oriented, and less individualist.
How are tou measuring happiness? Studies say that Finland and other secular scandinavian countries are among the happiest. Deeply religious countries are usually not.
Confounding variables, perhaps? There’s also a correlation between those specific happy countries and their median wealth, which facilitates survival, peace and opportunity. Or is it that deeply religious countries are susceptible to poverty by nature of prioritizing ideas outside of material wealth? Or is the correlation actually that desperation leads to faith, a life preserver to grip during the seemingly endless hard times? Who is to say?
