The key to happiness is not wealth, but a connection of mutual guarantee among us

Key Points

  • Studies prove that beyond a certain income, additional income does not necessarily increase happiness.

  • When we achieve a goal we set for ourselves, the satisfaction is brief and fleeting.

  • Measuring personal well-being and quality of life by the growth of gross product distorts the real picture.

  • Other measurements, such as the value of human relations, can represent personal happiness more successfully.

  • Educating toward mutual guarantee and social solidarity will change human relations.
