How can you become happier?

In 2025, the Global Happiness Report ranked Canada as the 18th happiest country in the world. That’s down from last year’s ranking, and much lower than fifth place which was Canada’s highest rank ever (back in 2015) with the country identified as being one of the greatest “losers” of happiness over the past decade.

Dr. Saunia Ahmad joins host Saroja Coelho on CBC’s Just Asking podcast, along with other panelists, to explore why Canadians seem to be getting less happy year-to-year and she shares suggestions on how you can be happier.
