Фрагмент из книги:
Most of us think that rich people are happy people, but research shows that money doesn't buy you happiness. Most lottery winners don't enjoy their win after the first moment of excitement. In fact, they often say they were happier before they won. When you see a photograph of a millionaire, how often are they smiling? Billionaires with ten houses and three yachts have more worries than ordinary people, and bigger bills.
A report by James Montier, who works for an investment bank, says that all you need is a salary of $45,000 a year. This is enough money to buy food, a home, clothes, and healthcare. People who earn more than this aren't necessarily any happier.
