You don’t need millions to be happy.In fact, at the Happiness Institute in Australia, a couple of hundred dollars may be enough.
The institute opened its doors last year, and since then, men and women of all ages have been paying $140 an hour for lessons on how to feel great.
“You can actually increase your happiness levels.That’s what we teach,” said Timothy Sharp, founder of the institute.
Experts say that only about 15 percent of happiness comes from income and other financial factors.As much as 85 percent comes from things such as attitudes, life control and relationships.
Most of us are significantly better off financially than our parents and grandparents, but happiness levels haven’t changed to reflect that.
Studies show that once the basic needs of shelter and food are met, additional wealth adds very little to happiness.
Many years ago, the “sage of Baltimore, Maryland”, editor HL Menchen, defined wealth as earning $100 more than your “wife’s sister’s husband”.
Behavioral economists now say part of the reason we are richer but not happier is that we compare ourselves to people better off materially.
