Life in Europe seems more peaceful and idyllic than life in the US. Is this just a "grass-is-greener" perspective, or are Europeans just better at living?

Years ago i dreamed of going and living in the US, not the gloomy places and middle of nowheres ,something like a decent town in California or even big cities like L.A, now i want to stay away from the whole U.S and would much rather live in any part of Southern Africa. I see that many people from my country coming back from U.S are much more socially closed and withdrawn which is so weird in here as people tend to be very sociable. While people working there are somewhat filthy rich after working their asses off but dont seem to have any life apart from work and sleep. To a contrast i've seen imigrants from Canada having about the same wealth as those from US but they are way happier and tend to be on vacations more.
