Happier in Utah!

Utah and Alaska are the fourth happiest states of the Nation, according to a telephone interview survey conducted for the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index survey during 2011. A random-digit dial was used to sample 353,492 adults, aged 18 and older, living in the entire United States.

The number one state was Hawaii, followed by North Dakota and Minnesota. While I can understand why the Aloha State made it to #1, I don't quite understand why the two following states ranked so high, but I'm happy enough not to dig into the reasons why, and am even happier to live in a state where we are happier than most!
