Older Is Wiser Is Happier According to Pew – Dave’s Diary
Don’t worry, be happy. Right? Hakuna Matata! On the surface, this may seem counter intuitive but according to a Pew Research Center study men are least happy in their 20’s and actually happiest from ages 60 to 69
.
Why? Older adults are better able to avoid stressful situations, which could mean they experience less negative emotions. They also appear to spend less time dwelling on the negative aspects of a situation, which leads to a greater feeling of happiness. In other words, like fine wine, we simply mellow as we age.
Too bad we didn’t know in our 20’s what we know now!
