After studying various countries around the world a team of researchers from the Varna University of Management, Bulgaria, published findings earlier this year that suggests that <strong>countries that have a certain gene variant &#8212; A allele &#8212; also have higher levels of happiness<\/strong>. In fact the gene was linked to happiness even more than wealth or the stability and safety of the country. Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador, Ghana and Nigeria all showed a high prevalence of the gene as well as high reports of happiness, despite their countries&#8217; high crime rates. Iraq, Jordan, Hong Kong, China, Thailand and Taiwan, who all showed a low prevalence of the A allele, were also the least likely to rate themselves as &#8220;very happy&#8221; in the study.<\/p>\n<p>Japanese researchers from Kyoto University found last year that t<strong>hose who are happier with their lives, and feel happiness in a more intense way, have a larger volume of grey matter in the precuneus region of the brain<\/strong>. However it&#8217;s not all bad news for those with smaller volumes of grey matter, with the team commenting that several studies have shown that grey matter can be increased with meditation.<\/p>\n<h3>&#8211; Spend time not money &#8211;<\/h3>\n<p>And debunking the common idea of the mid-life crisis, a study published earlier this year in the journal <a href=\"http:\/\/psycnet.apa.org\/psycinfo\/2015-40630-001\/\" target=\"_blank\">Developmental Psychology<\/a>\u00a0found that the idea that we hit a happiness low point in middle age is actually just a myth. The 25-year study by researchers at the University of Alberta, Canada, actually found in their study that<strong> happiness levels increased as participants aged, and with no major drops in happiness around the mid-life crisis years<\/strong>, and so no excuse to splash out on that sports car.<\/p>\n<p>And perhaps unsurprisingly, a team of researchers from the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/spp.sagepub.com\/content\/early\/2016\/01\/04\/1948550615623842\" target=\"_blank\">University of British Columbia<\/a>\u00a0found back in January that<strong> those who valued time over money reported being happier, with using spare time on more meaningful activities such as volunteering for a charity also increasing happiness<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15811\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15811\" style=\"width: 448px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/volunteer.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15811\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/volunteer.jpg\" alt=\"Image: sheknows.com\" width=\"448\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/volunteer.jpg 448w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/volunteer-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/volunteer-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 448px) 100vw, 448px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15811\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image: sheknows.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>&#8211; Can social media make you sad? &#8211;<\/h3>\n<p>And for Facebook addicts, a 2015 study by the Happiness Research Institute in Denmark found that Facebook could be making you unhappy.
