Why is Christmas a generally, happy season? I believe partly it’s because people have lots of money during this time. And because they have money, they are then able to buy happiness…
No, I’m not talking about “fake” happiness, but true genuine happiness.
I’ll explain that later, but first – you have to watch this TED Talk video by Michael Norton – who shares with us an experiment he did that proves how money can indeed buy happiness.
It’s shocking, it’s insightful – and it’s a great lesson to learn.
So why are people happy during the Christmas season?
Because aside from the fact that we’re among friends and families during this time – we also have money to spend on gifts for our loved ones – and thus, making us happier.
Share this video with your friends, and show them the secret to happiness.
