Document Summary
What it takes to make people happy. There"s a tiny genetic component in happiness, but not that much. Us is #14 in the happiest countries. More stable romantic relationships - longer marriages. More likeable by others (friends, teachers) and are more popular. Better weather does not make you happy. Moving to a new place doesn"t make you happier. You"re the same person if you move. Fake it until you believe it, make it true in your mind. Men who think they"re attractive are more happy. Younger people are less happy than older ppl (up to 65) Money buys happiness (only up to k) You want cash instead of total money. Lottery winners habituate after 1 year (grow used to their money) They have the same level of happiness as they did before they won. Parents should not think their kids should provide for them financially. Lots of money messes up families sometimes.
