Does happiness or a lack o f it, depend on being

busy or m aterial goods? Here’s the answer.

According to a study by Chris Manolis of Xavier University

and James Roberts of Baylor University, US, excess doesn’t

always equal happiness. When 1,329 teens were asked how

much importance they gave to materialistic values, vis-à-vis

happiness, the results showed that those who were materialistic

had lower happiness levels. In fact, to be happy, lack of free

time plays a crucial role along with high-activity levels. So tell

your teens that designer jeans will not make them happy. Keep

them busy, so that they are happier without the pricey add-ons.
