THE PURSUIT OF

HAPPINESS

SMU CU HNH

PHC

How are we supposed to find

happiness? Through good works and

helping people? By finding religion or

discovering the joys of downshifting?

Whatever strategy you choose, whereyou live might make a difference. The

latest global analysis of happiness and

satisfaction levels shows that the most

'satisfied' people tend to live in Latin

America, Western Europe and North

America, whereas Eastern Europeans

are the least satisfied.

It is not the first time such

international league tables have been

drawn up. What is new is how expertsand politicians are taking such data

increasingly seriously. Over the past

decade, the study of happiness,

formerly the preserve of philosophers,

therapists and gurus, has become a

bona fide discipline. It even has its own

journal, the Journal of Happiness

Studies. As a result, government policy

advisers are getting interested, and

politicians are using the research as the

basis for new strategies.
