Happiness has been linked to better decision-making and improved creativity. So, rather than success being the key to happiness, research shows that happiness could in fact be the key to success.
Being happy doesn't just make us feel better, it improves our health. It helps us eat healthier, be more active and sleep better. Our immune system is more effective when we're happy, as is our ability to heal and to handle pain.
People who are happy are at least a third more productive than their peers. 31% in fact according to the latest US research. What else can you do that might offer such a boost to productivity?
Happy people are far less likely to experience mental health challenges and are more resilient to anxiety and depression. Multiple studies have shown that happier people have less cortisol (the stress hormone) in their blood.
A study from Gallup (2017) found that happier employees were more engaged, which resulted in improved customer relationships, and a 20% increase in sales. When we feel happy, we’re more likely to express ourselves positively and want to help those around us.
A body of studies have suggested that happy people live longer lives. This is still a relatively unexplored area of research but it seems logical, given the known health benefits above.
