Is Utah the happiest state in the union? A Gallup survey conducted for an insurance company puts the Beehive State at No. 1 for overall well-being.

The study, which involved 350,000 interviews, rated well-being on several factors: Life evaluation; work quality; basic access to food, shelter, health care and services; healthy behavior; physical health and emotional health.

Hawaii was second; Wyoming, Colorado and Minnesota round out the Top 5.

The accompanying AP story mentions Utah's outdoor recreation as just one possible factor in our being so happy.

Would Utah's ranking in this survey have anything to do with the infamous 2002 report that Utah leads the nation in anti-depressant use? Or the news earlier this month month that we're No. 1 in online porn subscriptions? There are, after all, many different ways to get happy.
