财富和幸福感有没有直接关系？一起来看看Tal博士课上引用的研究结果吧！
Wealth matters very little to our levels of wellbeing. Just like the lottery would make very little difference to our wellbeing. Now this does not mean that a person who doesn't have enough food, someone who is homeless on the streets here, gets an extra thousand or two thousand dollars a month, that of course will make him or her much happier. But beyond the basic needs, once our basic needs are met and that means food, shelter, basic education. Once those needs are met, income makes very little difference. No change across generations. You know, our generation is much wealthier than our parents, and much, much wealthier than our grandparents' generation. We are not happier. And that is global, whether it's in China, whether it's in the UK or Australia, or the United States.
财富对幸福水平的影响很小，就像中彩票对我们的幸福感影响甚微，但这并不是说一个没有足够食物，一个无家可归流落街头的人，每个月多得到一两千美元，那当然会让他或她更快乐。但超出基本需要后，当我们的基本需要得到满足，即有食物、住所、基础教育，一旦这些需要得到满足，收入的影响其实微乎其微。这在几代人之间没有任何变化，你知道的，我们这一代人比我们的父辈富足比祖父辈更加富足。但我们不是更快乐，这是全球现象。不论是中国、英国还是澳大利亚或美国都是一样。
