Fluctuations of the happiness curve, at what age do we feel better?

Does happiness exist? To agree, first let’s describe what it is not. Happiness is not just joy, exaltation or ecstasy, it is temporary sensations. Happiness is a background emotional state, something deep, it is an emotion or feeling called secondary. I know the word happiness may seem too grandiose, which is why we’re going to standardize it.

In medicine, which is our field, this manifests itself in a state of peace, tranquility and tranquility. And this exists. This happiness is what we will talk about now. This includes peace, tranquility and tranquility. This state occurs when one has a horizon, as if it were a musical staff that life allowed to record its own notes.

And there is a Sh for happinessBecause happiness is studied with psychological tests and questionnaires. Happiness levels were analyzed in more than 100 countries around the world. This has been configured and we will now analyze it.

This formula is age-related. At Happiness University, when people say they are happiest, it is around age 20. because? Because he has a life ahead of him, it is all projects and he has only suffered a few blows in general. He didn’t break up, he didn’t get fired, and he probably didn’t have any major existential crises either.

As the years pass and a person descends below that part of the U, life becomes more complicated, because more complex situations arise. We all know them and each one of them will have their own experience, because as we get older, personal experience starts to get a little more complicated. Thus is life.

So, Happiness levels tend to be lower when measured in people aged 25, 30 or 35 years. And so is life. What happens is that after 40, if you want a 40 or 50 year old crisis, you will start to locate yourself in the belly of the U, in the concave part of the U.

Hence the test indicators begin to show that from the age of 50 or 60 this rate begins to rise. Feeling full People start to be happier or at least view themselves that way.

because? The reason lies in philosophical learning. Over the years, people We begin to value what we have more than what we can achieve later.. We learn to enjoy what we have by learning the philosophy of life.
