Choosing What Makes You Happy

This month’s theme at SWC is “Happiness and Joy.”

Today we are looking at how to choose what will make us happy.

Here are some takeaways from scientific research:

•If you want to be happier, spend more time connecting with other people.

•Experiential products (a bike or guitar) or life experiences (a vacation or concert) bring more long-term happiness than non-experiential products (like jewelry).

•Money doesn’t equal happiness. Once a person’s basic needs are met, more money doesn’t necessarily make them happier.

•Check your assumptions when deciding what you think will make you happy.
