Scientists conduct numerous studies aimed at learning what makes people happy and perhaps their conclusions will help improve the quality of life.
Daniel Kaneman, Nobel laureate, points to the connection between happiness and money, noting that it is not absolute dependence. He recommends finding ways to increase income, but indicates a limit after which money is no longer a significant contribution to pleasure-from 70-90 thousand dollars a year. Scientists from London School of Economics indicate that married people often consider themselves happy, including men.
The University of Harvard's experiment, which is ongoing since 1938, proves that loneliness leads to depression, so it is important to maintain relationships with others. The consequences of research also indicate that the level of happiness among parents can rise when children have grown and live on their own.
The general conclusion is that not only an increase in income leads to happiness. It is important to take care of relationships, avoid loneliness, and, if necessary, consider options for moving to a country with a better standard of living. Psychologist Victor Frankl also advises not to look for unnecessary problems and not to delve into the search for the meaning of life, but to live carelessly, focusing on maximum satisfaction from the moment.
