Three Happiness Myths that Prevent You From Being Happy by Sascha Siegmund

Happiness is easy! - We know it from the media: a suburban house, 2.2 kids, a fancy upper class car and some regular shopping is all we need.

It is time to have a closer look at Happiness and demystify some of the modern legends around it.
