That was an interesting article. I'd read that winning the lottery doesn't bring lasting happiness. I've also read that if the gap between the rich and the poor were smaller, society as a whole (even those who were rich) would be happier. Closing the gap brings people closer together and it is human relationships that bring lasting happiness, not money.
That of course will never fly with people currently. We are a money obsessed culture and I guess doomed to not be as happy as we can be.

I like having money. I admit it. (Not that I have lots....)
I would like to be content with what I have, though--health troubles, mental illness, the whole sha-bang. I'm working on it.
