How much does happiness cost? Capital

Englishmen Steve Henry and David Alberts published a book proving that there are much more valuable things in life than money. The book is called You Are Really Rich, You Just Don't Know It Yet. The authors conducted a large-scale study: they interviewed 1,000 people to assign a monetary equivalent to various life events. Respondents had to compare the joy from each of the events and from winning the lottery of one or another amount of money. In the first place was health - its presence was estimated at $ 360,000. In second - a declaration of love: the joy from these words is comparable to winning $ 326,000. Stable family relationships, life in a safe country, laughter and sex also got into the rating.
