I want to talk about money and happiness , which are two things that a lot of us spend a lot of time thinking about .Ether trying to earn them or trying to increase them .
When people got money and in fact it made them antisocial .so money ruins people's lives and that their friends bug them ,it also makes some people selfish and they think only for themselves . maybe the reason why money doesn't make us happy is that we're always spending it on the wrong things . in particular , we're always spending it on our selves . and we thought , what would happen if we made people spend more money on the other people ? so , instead of being antisocial with your money .
what if you're a bit more proposal with your money and we thought let's make people do it and see what happens .
let's have some people do what they usually do ad spend money on themselves , and let's make some people give money away , measure their happiness and see if in fact they get happier.
what we see again is that the specific way thet you spend on other people itsn't nearly as important as the fact that you spend on other people in order to make yourself happy , which is really quite important . you don't have to do amazing things with your money to make yourself happy .you can do small trivial things and yet still get benefits from doing this .
There are only two countries . We wanted to go broader and look at every country in the world if we could , to see what the relationship is between money and happiness.
Gallup organization , get data from asking people " did you donate money to charity recently ? "
and Ask
" How happy are you with life in general ? "
On this map , we can see what the relation is between those two things .
Are they positively correlated ?
giving money makes you happy ?
Or, they're negatively correlated ?
On this map , green means there're positively correlated , red means they're negatively correlated .
If you think money can't buy happiness , try giving some away . and the witness are those videos above .
