THE HAPPIEST PLACE IN AMERICA? IT'S SUNNYVALE!
I was recently sent this article...not a real surprise. I love living here.
SUNNYVALE, Calif. – The City of Sunnyvale, long-known as the Heart of Silicon Valley, can now add a new accolade: The Happiest Place in America. And it must be true, because the Dr. Oz show will feature Julia Blom, owner of Sunnyvale's Country Gourmet restaurant, on the Monday, November 9 show, to talk about Sunnyvale.
The declaration of Sunnyvale as the Happiest Place in America is the result of a Gallup Poll conducted with the American Insurance Plans and Healthways. The ongoing survey began in January 2008, and polls 1,000 Americans per day over a 350-day period to create the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index. The survey ranks factors that help measure well-being in America's rural and urban communities. The poll studies not only the absence of infirmity and disease, but also a state of physical, mental and social well-being. The results of the poll were posted in March 2009.
According to Dr. Oz Show Publicity Executive Jenifer Rogers, Dr. Oz will spotlight Sunnyvale as the Happiest Place in America. Dr. Oz will include Blom and a woman from Hazard, Kentucky, ranked as the Unhappiest Place in America, in his show, and offer them an opportunity to switch places. The show will explore whether the physical location of where a person lives has an impact on that person's way of life. Researcher Sonja Lyubomirsky will help Dr. Oz reveal the five steps to happiness.
This episode of the Dr. Oz Show is scheduled to air at 9 a.m., Monday, November 9 on KTVU Channel 2, and at 8 p.m. on KICU Channel 36.
