> Happiness is a direct co-relation to GDP. The growth of a civilization is directly as a result of GDP.

That’s actually not correct. By that argument the happiest country should be the United States as it has the largest GDP. However the United States ranks #19 on the World Happiness Report: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/happiest-...

I should have been more specific: GDP per capita is one of the most important part of a person's happiness.

Chart above clearly shows that mostly increase in GDP results in higher life satisfaction.
