This is an excellent article: Happiness Is Back. I believe as stated in the article that a happier society would be a much better society. Money is not always the best measure of happiness. I have lived through times when I had more than I do now, but was overall less happy. Most of the time I am happy now, even though I am often completely broke. I sometimes aspire to more, but do not think having more would necessarily make me happier. If stress levels were higher because of a high pressure work environment, I am sure my happiness would suffer. Less time with family and to myself would also cause less happiness.
Always,
