A great article I read this morning with my morning coffee -
http://finance.yahoo.com/family-home/article/110275/but-will-it-make-you-happy
some of my favorites lines from the article:
- Mr. Belic says his documentary shows that "the one single trait that's common among every single person who is happy is strong relationships."
- In other words, waiting for something and working hard to get it made it feel more valuable and more stimulating.
- One major finding is that spending money for an experience — concert tickets, French lessons, sushi-rolling classes, a hotel room in Monaco — produces longer-lasting satisfaction than spending money on plain old stuff.
- "The idea that you need to go bigger to be happy is false," she says. "I really believe that the acquisition of material goods doesn't bring about happiness."
