Whether it may be having dinner with friends or spending time with a significant other, good relationships have a strong correlation with your overall happiness.
Living in a neighborhood where you are comfortable with your neighbors makes a huge difference. According to Brooks, countries with high social trust have happier people, more efficient governments & more economic growth.
Brooks states that people are happiest in their 20’s and right after they retire at 65.
This point seems to fall into both categories. People become happier when they receive raises and promotions, but if it has negative effects on other areas of their lives, such as personal relationships they will not.
This may make you happy initially, but it has not shown to have lasting effects.
I really can’t imagine this being pleasant for anyone. Even if you drive a luxury car, traffic can be quite frustrating.
This is one I’d imagine many people with disagree with, but Brook’s point is that these factors would pale in comparison to strong personal relationships.
Many parallels can be drawn between obtaining happiness and creating a brilliant piece of design work. It seems as though we are most happy when we have only what we need and what is most important to us. This same principal applies to design; as a website design firm, we only utilize the most effective techniques and content to create material that speaks to a target audience. And of course, making our clients happy is our number one priority!
