Does your country Live, Laugh, Love?

Map created by reddit user bezzleford
The map above shows which countries in Europe have a life expectancy of over 80 years (Live), a World Happiness report score of over 6.5 (Laugh) and which countries are in the top 20% in the world giving Index (Love).

The map author explains:

This is a fun little map I made running with the ‘Live laugh love’ joke that has been around for years.

Please do not take it too seriously

The map shows countries in Europe and if they ‘Live, Laugh, Love’ via the following indicators:

  • Live – Countries with a life expectancy above 80 years (both sexes) according to the latest UN data
  • Laugh – Countries with a score above 6.5 according to the World Happiness Report 2024
  • Love – Countries in the top 20% in the World Giving Index, 2022

Yes, I am aware that many of these indicators have flaws – e.g. quantifying self-reported ‘happiness’ has many problems. But as I mentioned, this is not a very serious map, was just fun seeing which countries are Live, Laugh, Love hun xx

If anyone is interested in any other countries and if they LLL, let me know!
