Whatever way you choose to protect your health and wealth be
happy.
On the subject of happiness and the subject of banking abroad,
according to a BBC article, Denmark is the happiest place on earth!
The article states: “If it is happiness you are seeking
a move to Denmark could be in order, according to the first scientist
to make a world map of happiness. Adrian White from the University
of Leicester in the UK used the responses of 80,000 people worldwide
to map out subjective well being. Denmark came top, followed closely
by Switzerland and Austria. The UK ranked 41st. Zimbabwe and Burundi
came bottom.
“A nation's level of happiness was most closely associated
with health levels.
“HOW THE NATIONS RANKED ON HAPPINESS
- 1st - Denmark
- 2nd - Switzerland
- 3rd - Austria
- 4th - Iceland
- 5th - The Bahamas
- 23rd - USA
- 41st - UK
- 90th - Japan
- 178th - Burundi
“The article pointed out that Asia scores low, with China
82nd, Japan 90th and India 125th, because these are countries that
are thought as having a strong sense of collective identity which
other researchers have associated with well-being. Large countries
in terms of population did badly," he said.
Frustrations of modern life, and the anxieties of the age, seem
to be less significant compared to the health, financial and educational
needs in other parts of the world.

Here are notes from happy delegates at our last Super Thinking
+ Spanish Course.
“Hola Merri. Thank you for the course, which was just perfect.
I really understood the Superlearning approach, so much so that
I have downloaded and been playing baroque music ever since I returned,
and have been reading Gary's book daily. I am now working hard
to make money to buy a lot from Santiago. As I told you, I was
previously sold on Costa Rica, but now it's Ecuador. This was the
life-changing experience.”
Here is another comment:
“Regarding the Super Learning Spanish course, the things
we especially liked:
“The ease of the learning method: not learning all the conjugations
or memorizing or learning in ‘pieces.’
The fact that you speak both English and Spanish and you presented
the material in relationship to the English language. This made
a huge difference. Your teaching style was very comfortable and
clear.
“The distillation of the grammar into the 17 rules.”
“Using relaxation to learn.”
“The ability to participate in the class, particularly creating
sentences was very valuable.”
“The synergy of the group added to the class.”
“Super Learning theory set the foundation for the class
and set a tone of “trust” that we could just relax
and learning would take place (and it did!).”
“The community environment was excellent in that we could
go out and immediately practice what we had learned through the
planned activities and interacting with the waitresses, etc.”
“We enjoyed the class. This was very important in learning
and using the material.”
“All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed the class and our entire
trip! Buenas noches!”
One More Rave
“Gary & Merri, WOW! That sums up the whole Ecuadorian
experience. As you may have heard, our flight was delayed and we
did not get in until 7 AM on Sunday. Upon our return for the 2nd
check in, we ran into Don Carlos who has a booth at the airport.
“Again, it was indeed a pleasure meeting you both. I had
an extraordinary experience personally and as part of the collective
Naples team, the process created numerous potentials and possibilities
that simply delights and tickles my sprit and my soul.
“Your love and respect for each other as well as your passion
for your work are awe inspiring. As a recovering Pollyanna, you
have now challenged me to again believe in the power of love. Forward
ho!
“Take care and until our paths cross again, hopefully sooner
rather than later, I send you much success and fulfillment and
many blissful rocking chairs days in the NC Mountains.”
