Smile and the world smiles too….
Did you know that on average over the course of our lifetime we spend 115 days laughing? This may seem a lot but in fact it is three times less than in the 1950s. A BBC poll showed that in the 1950s 52% of people said they were happy compared to just 36% today.
The reasons behind a less happy populace are something psychologists and sociologists continue to research. In many ways people should be happier than in the 1950s, today people are wealthier with more disposable income and life offers greater convenience in terms of household tasks etc.
