Psychological Well-Being: Happiness, Therapy And Money
We all want to have a sense of psychological well-being, that is, we want to be happy.
So what do we do to gain happiness? We work harder. We buy lottery tickets. We invest. We do anything we can to improve our economic well-being, because we believe it translates directly into happiness. Furthermore, we do this as individuals and as a society.
Over the past half-century developed countries have made gigantic economic gains, based at least in part on the premise that economic well-being produces happiness. The movie with Will Smith, “The Pursuit of Happyness,” epitomizes this view.
Unfortunately, over the last half-century the evidence is that there has been zero increase in national happiness among the developed countries.
Researchers at the University of Warwick, Great Britain, in studies involving thousands of people, found that a four-month course of psychological therapy had a huge effect on psychological well-being. In fact, they calculated that it would take an increase of $48,000 in income to achieve the same increase in happiness that came from $1500 worth of therapy. Their conclusion: “The research therefore demonstrates that psychological therapy could be 32 times more cost effective at making you happy than simply obtaining more money.”
