How?
Science has new evidence about how to be happy. Money is not everything - your environment and your way of thinking are the keys.
What?
We know what people can do for themselves to be happier. Treat yourself to a bit more happiness today!
Why?
Consumerism damages the enviroment and makes us unhappy. Get yourself happy and save the planet.
Politicians often look pretty unhappy, sometimes it seems that a smug sneer is the closest they get to happiness. It's a profession all about arguing and that can be very frustrating for people with heartflet beliefs - a clever debater can often outwit them. But politics is currently about rich versus poor, the people who own all the stuff are making the people who own nothing do all the work - and granting them only the bare necessities for doing so.
In making politics all about wealth, the rich look like they are winning, but they are creating a nation which is torn apart by growing inequality between rich and poor and even young and old. By the old rules they are winning, but I don't think you can call it winning if it doesn't make anybody happy. I don't even think it can be winning if a few people are happy. And I am convinced that the few winners of today would be happier in a world with less conflict.
