Happiest People have more friends
 What’s the secret to happiness? Well, it all depends on how many old friends you have, says a new study. Researchers in Britain have carried out the study and found that happiest people have more old pals — those with at least ten good friends are likely to be happier as compared to those with fewer than five. |
Having a number of old, close friendships is related to individual happiness. People who were ‘extremely satisfied’ with life had twice as many friends as people who’re extremely dissatisfied,’ said lead researcher Dr Richard Tunney. In fact, Dr Tunney of the University of Nottingham and colleagues have based their findings on a poll which they carried out for the National Lottery, a leading British tabloid reported. Over 1,760 people were asked about their relationships with friends for the survey and how happy and satisfied they felt with life. People with five friends or less have a 40 per cent chance of being happy, those having between five and ten have 50 per cent chance of happiness, and people with more than ten friends are increasingly likely to be happy, the study found. The survey also revealed that Birmingham was Britain’s happiest city based on friendships and Brighton actually the unhappiest. |
