Commentator Jindřich Šídlo is delighted with the Czech Republic's 18th place, ahead of countries like Germany, Britain and France. He comments in Sme: “Perhaps even more interesting is that young Czechs are actually among the top ten happiest people in the world. This could be attributed to the relatively easy access to soft drugs, but that alone would probably not explain this entirely. Still, this is some of the best news we could receive.
