Instead of increasing people's happiness, policies should be geared toward reducing their misery. You cannot accurately define happiness for everyone because it means different things to different people. But you can do this for misery and sadness. Poverty, hunger, illness, and lack of security make everyone miserable whereas a new gym might make some happy but not all.
Sharpen your decision-making by asking yourself twice. Opinions shift with mood, energy, and life's currents. This double-check samples your inner compass, leading to steadier choices. So ditch the knee-jerk reaction and sleep on it – your future self will thank you.
