Happiness Myths
In the 1990s researcher Ronald Inglehart published the results of a massive "happiness survey" involving 170 000 people from 16 countries. The participants were asked questions like, "how happy are you?' and "are you satisfied with your life?'
Ingleheart was interested to see wherther our age affectsour happiness. So he analysed the data by age group, 15-24 years old, 25-34 years old,35-44 years old and so on.
The resykts fir each age group were almost identical!
in different research, Arizona State University psychologist William Stock and Morris Okun reached exactly the same conclusion, They assessed the results over 100 psychological studies and boiled then down to this-that age has no more than a 1 percent impact on happiness!
Despite all the myths, and despite all the tal of "troubled teens" and "midlife crises"/ age has almost no bearing on your happiness!
