To the top right of the graph are countries which are doing reasonably well and producing well-being, but they’re using a lot of planet to get there. They’re the U.S.A., other Western countries going across in those triangles and a few Gulf states in there actually. Conversely, at the bottom left of the graph, are countries that are not producing much well-being—typically, sub-Saharan Africa. In Hobbesian terms, life is short and brutish there. The average life expectancy in many of these countries is only 40 years…The country on its own up at the top is Costa Rica, with an average life expectancy is 78-and-a-half years, which is the happiest nation on this planet. 在这个图的右上角是一些提供幸福生活上做得比较好的国家，但代价是他们用了地球很多的资源。包括美国，其他一些在那些三角形上的西方国家，还有几个波斯湾的国家。相反地，在这个图的左下方，是那么没有提供多少幸福生活的国家——典型的便是非洲撒哈拉以南的国家，照托马斯霍布斯的说法，那里的生活是短暂而又粗野的。在很多这些国家的人均寿命只有40岁。在图的上方独占鳌头的国家是哥斯达黎加，人均寿命是78.5岁。这就是地球上最快乐的国家。
