Is Happiness a Question of Age? - Ajit Patel Wellness

At what age did you feel the happiest? Or perhaps you feel your happiest years are yet to come? Many people believe that childhood is the happiest time of life and things steadily decline as we get older and grumpier, but this is only partially true. According to psychologists, happiness is high during youth, hits a low point in your mid-40s and then starts to rise steadily as you grow older. And the results aren’t isolated to one country or culture – the same pattern occurs in over 70 countries across the globe. Experts have struggled to explain why this U-shaped happiness pattern occurs, but similar results have been identified in over 500 apes, whose carers were asked to assess the apes’ happiness on a scale of one to 10. The results showed that, like humans, younger and older apes were both happier than middle-aged apes. This suggests the reasons are physiological rather than due to socioeconomic factors.
