а) How to Make Everybody Happy Peter's uncle lived in the country. Once Peter went to stay with him for a few weeks. Whenever they went for a walk or for a drive in the car and they passed somebody, his uncle waved. Peter was surprised, and said, "Uncle George, you know everybody here. Where did you meet them all?" "I don't know all these people , " said his uncle. "Then why do you wave to them?" asked Peter. "Well, Peter," answered his uncle, "when I wave to someone and he knows me, he is pleased. He continues his journey with a happier heart. But when I wave to someone and he doesn't know me, he is surprised and says to himself `Who is that man? Why did he wave to me?' So he has something to think about during the rest of his journey, and that makes his journey seem shorter. So I make everybody happy. " в) A lot of thought and research has gone into happiness in the last 30 years and we now have a pool of knowledge about what makes human beings happy. How to be happy is no longer a mystery. We have the knowledge, now we just need the political will to make it happen. As the west gets more prosperous, we don't seem to get any happier - why not? It's because money doesn't buy you happiness, your mum was right! Up to a certain point an increase in income can make a difference, but once you have a roof over your head, clothes on your back and food on your table, any more money does very little for your happiness. So one way we can make everybody happy is to get everybody up to this point financially. Other than this, there are basically 2 strands to the argument, first, psychologists have studied happiness and come up with a pretty good idea of what makes people happy. Also, evolutionary biologists have looked at mankind as an animal and figured out the environment that we need to live happy lives - just like modern zoo keepers have figured out how to keep animals without them pacing in their cages and pulling their fur out. Psychologists have studied happiness since the 60s and they've come up with ways of measuring happiness and a lot of information about the causes. Science has a list of things which make people happy, here are some examples. Feeling part of a community Eating a healthy diet Getting regular exercise Experiencing nature Being married Helping people Counting your blessings We've also got a list of things which make people unhappy, for example. Feeling isolated Commuting Working too hard Substance abuse Not being in control of your life Bad diet Unhappy thinking Happiness theory also looks at how people think, we pick up habits of thought which can be either helpful to happiness - or not. However, it is possible to re-train your thoughts to stop them bringing you down. For more information about this kind of thing I can recommend books by Richard Carlson and Martin P. Seligman.
