How to be happy (1)
“It is a simple question, but it may just reveal whether or not you will live to a ripe old age: does somebody love you? Those who can confidently answer ‘yes’ are significantly more likely to be alive for the next 10 years than those who feel all alone.”
So begins an article in today’s “Observer” newspaper which suggests that having a successful relationship is the single most important factor in determining your happiness, health and longevity. I can believe this and certainly that’s good news for me as this month I celebrate my 25th wedding anniversary.
I’m interested in happiness (who isn’t) which is why I have a section on my web site called “How To Be Happy” and why I’ve reviewed on my web site a book called simply “Happiness”.
