- Friends and family

^{People with five or more close friends are 50% more likely to describe themselves as “very happy”. Compared with the happiness-increasing powers of human connection, the power of money looks feeble indeed.}- Relationship with “significant other”

_{40% of married couples said they were “very happy"; among the never-married, only about a quarter were exuberant. However, divorce brings misery to everyone involved, though those who bare with a terrible marriage are the unhappiest of all.}- Doing things can bring more joy than having things.

So, the happiest people are those who are best at wringing experiences out of everything they spend money on.}]]> 2023-04-26 12:50:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ealin3/jmhvusfnnkgha6ry/wish/2568743221 ealin3 https://padlet.com/ealin3/jmhvusfnnkgha6ry/wish/2568762631 Happiness is a talent.
