Improvement of happiness levels

Researchers have found that owning a fast car, a large home and having a good job may only make you happy if those around you are less well off. Dr Boyce said the study raises questions about whether the relentless pursuit of economic growth was a good thing for the nation. But he cautioned that economic growth did provide jobs which were an important requirement for happiness not just for the income they provided but for the sense of purpose they gave people. He said more money needed to be put into mental health services in a bid to improve happiness levels.
