It seems that your gran might have been right after all because it seems that happiness is not related to success in work or with having lots of money. In fact achieving goals does bring happiness but only when those goals are related to: growing as a person; having loving relationships; contributing to your community. Wealth, fame and good looks just won’t do it.

A new study by three University of Rochester researchers demonstrates that progress on these fronts can actually make a person less happy.

Women less statisfied with life than men

I just read an interesting article about a study on the differences between men and women and their goal fullfillment. Men tned to see their goals realised more than women and so later in life they are happier and more content. Of course there are ways to see goals fulfilled (this is what this site is all about) and sometimes the only answer is to change your goal to suit what is possible.

You can read about the report here:

One interesting point though include that both sexes agree on marriage and family with 9 out of 10 people (both men and women) wanting a happy marriage. It seems marriage is not dead.
