标题: Happiness [打印本页] 作者: priceless 时间: 25-10-2010 21:18 标题: Happiness As the saying goes, money doesn’t buy happiness. Nor do fame, glamour, your own TV show, and all the things you might think would make for a happy life. Dozens of studies have shown that the things we think will bring us happiness – winning the lottery, a new house, etc – do little to boost our long-term inner satisfaction. They may make for a night of celebrating, but before too long the old you reappears, dissatisfaction and all. The effects are temporary – whether the event is positive (a new job) or negative (losing your job); within a few months people return to the same happiness level they had before. In fact, once your basic needs are taken care of, more money, more success, a bigger house, etc., won’t bring lasting happiness. /Catherine/
