Not happy with your life? Hang on, the best is yet to come ... if you live long enough, that is.
A new study revealed that the Golden age is when people achieve the peak of happiness:
A study published by the American National Academy of Sciences, based on a survey of 341,000 people, found that enjoyment of life dwindled throughout early adulthood but began an upward trend in the late forties, and continued to increase until reaching a peak at 85.
Andrew Steptoe, professor of psychology at University College London, said elderly people today benefit from better health and opportunities now than 30 years ago, adding that good health and a secure income were "very important" in old age. [...]
In addition, psychologists believe that in old age we become more selective with how we use our time, focusing more on doing things we enjoy and cutting out parts of life that make us unhappy.
My religion doesn't require that. I'm sorry yours sucks.
According to the article, happiness starts to rise n the late 40's, so happiness starts to rise around the age most people's kids are moving out. That's pretty simple.
I hope you die soon.
(and that religion thing works for you)
