T AIWAN IS AN ISLAND ABOUT 112 MILES (180 KILOMETERS) OFF the coast of China. It's one of the happier places on Earthand definitely one of the happiest in Asia. That assessment, by the World Happiness Report, is based on a survey of 156 countries according to certain measurable indicators of well being. In 2016, Taiwan ranked thirty-fifth, gaining three places over its previous standing eighteen months earlier. In fact, Taiwan scored particularly well compared to most of its neighbors in Asia, coming in well ahead of Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, and, interestingly, Chinawhich ranked eighty-third.
