Finding happiness

Study Finds - 

• A massive study of over 40,000 people across five countries found that most individuals don’t follow the same psychological patterns when it comes to happiness, meaning what works to make one person happier may not work for another.
• Only about 20–25% of people fit the widely accepted “bidirectional” happiness model, where both mindset and circumstances influence each other; most people showed primarily top-down (mindset-driven) or bottom-up (circumstance-driven) patterns, or no clear pattern at all.
• The findings suggest that one-size-fits-all happiness interventions, like mindfulness or financial coaching, may be ineffective or even counterproductive for many people, and that personalized approaches are likely to be more effective.
