Abstract:
Various research prove that happy nations are prosperous in numerous areas containing GDP, productivity,
social support and inclusion, health, lower corruption and environmental sustainability. The analysis in this
multicriteria study covers the environmental sustainability, success and happiness trends in Asian nations during
a 25-year time span. Strong and average correlations amongst the success, happiness and environmental sustainability,
of Asian nations, in one regard, and, in another regard, the macroeconomics, well-being and human
development, values-based, quality of life and environmental indicators were established across numerous
statistical databases. Six multiple regression models of success and happiness in Asian nations were compiled
with the assistance of IBM SPSS Statistics. The linear regression model of success in 40 Asian nations illustrates
how nine independent variables explain 90.7 percent of the significances of results. The 19-Asian nation,
multiple regression happiness model show how 16 independent variables account for 99.5% of the Happiness
index weight dispersion.
