Who is right? Why live so many happy and poor people in the world, and the same number of accidents rich?

Michael Norton believes that happiness is not in money, but to spend it correctly;)

Michael and his colleagues conducted a very interesting experiment with Canadian students. And then we decided to expand the scope and conduct similar experiments in different countries, and not only with individuals but also with groups of people, and even with teams of athletes.

In all experiments, they received the same result. It did not depend either on the country or whether it was one person or a team. It turned out that people feel happier when spending money not on themselves but for others.
