More Than Money Archive -> Issue 38

Does money make people happy? Most people say no to that question. Yet, research shows that most people also believe that more money would make them happier. This issue examines some of the paradoxes and complexities of the relationship between money and happiness. Through an engaging, conversational format, you'll learn what's new in happiness research, the secrets that happy people know (including how you can be happy, too), what happens when an entire country adopts a measure of Gross National Happiness instead of the GDP, and what individual interviewees consider to be of greatest value in their own lives.
