Having good mental health and being in a good relationship makes people happier than doubling income points says study.  The London School of Economics, in the United Kingdom, interviewed 200,000 people in Australia, United Kingdom, Germany and United States on the factors that most influence your sense of well-being. And having a partner positively led this list. "The evidence shows that the things that matter most to happiness are our relationships and our physical and mental health," says the study's co-author Richard Layard, an economist who initiated a few years ago a movement to create a happier and compassionate society, called action for Happiness.
