What makes you happy?

October 19th, 2007 in happiness

These things make people happy:

  1. Having friends
  2. Being healthy
  3. Not living in poverty
  4. Being married

Money doesn’t make you happy.  (Neither do kids according to many studies!)

    Good list.
    I would add religious faith, as attested by this WedMD article: http://www.webmd.com/content/article/78/95776.htm
    As for kids, I was happy before I had kids and am happy now that I have four. They bring me great joy and more of a sense of purpose in life.
