“Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”: Six Lines from The Economist
"One criticism is that the pursuit is self-defeating. The more you pursue the illusion of happiness the more you sacrifice the real thing [emphasis mine]. The flip side of relentless mobility is turmoil and angst, broken marriages and unhappy children. Americans have less job security than ever before. They even report having fewer close friends than a couple of decades ago. And international studies of happiness suggest that people in certain poor countries, for instance Nigeria and Mexico, are apparently happier than people in America.” --The Economist, July 1 2006. full story, "Pursuing Happiness"
Pew Research Center study, "Are We Happy Yet?"
