Happiness

What it is

Happiness research sits where psychology, economics and public health meet: how life satisfaction and day-to-day mood relate to income, relationships, work, health and age, and whether they can be changed. Robust findings include the strength of social connection and the limits of money beyond a comfortable income; most single-intervention studies are small and short. Stories here include survey rankings, positive-psychology research and meaning-of-life features, so expect a mix of evidence and essay.
