NO ONE WILL MISS JOBS:
Value time rather than money to boost happiness, says research ( AFP, January 9, 2016.
In a new study published on Thursday, a team of researchers from the University of British Columbia have shown that you can make yourself happier by trying to spend your time in meaningful ways, rather than spending it making money. [...]After looking at six studies and a total of 4690 participants, the team found that slightly more than half of the participants reported prioritising their time more than money, and there was a link between treating time as a priority and increased happiness.This prioritisation of time over money also occurred consistently on a small, daily basis, as well as for major life events."It appears that people have a stable preference for valuing their time over making more money, and prioritising time is associated with greater happiness," said lead researcher Ashley Whillans from the University of British Columbia.
