用什麼給幸福標價呢(2/2)歌詞

The Happiness Institute is part of what US economist Paul Zane Pilzer calls the "Wellness Revolution". In his book of the same name, Pilzer says the next trillion-dollar industry after cars and information technology will be in preventative businesses that help people find peace, health and happiness. While most of us are significantly better off financially than our parents and grandparents, happiness levels haven't changed to reflect that. Studies show that once the basic needs of shelter and food are met, additional wealth adds very little to happiness. Even investment banker Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein has warned not to "equate money with happiness". "A vast array of individuals seriously overrate the importance of money in making themselves, and others, happy," said strategist James Montier in a recent memo to clients. "Since the 1950s, people's happiness levels have been remarkably constant despite a massive growth in income-per-head over the same time horizon." he said.
“幸福學院”是美國經濟學家保羅·贊恩·皮爾澤所說的“健康革命”的一部分。在他的同名小說中，皮爾澤說在汽車和信息技術產業之後的億萬美元的行業將會是預防性的企業，幫助人們找到和平、健康和幸福。 即使我們大多數人在經濟上比我們的父母和祖父母要好很多，但是幸福水平卻沒有多大的改變。研究表明一旦基本的房子和食物的需求得到滿足，額外的財富並不能增添多少幸福。即使投資銀行家德利佳華·瓦瑟斯坦也聲稱“不要把錢和幸福劃等號”。 “很多人高估了金錢對於他們自己和他人幸福的重要性，” 策略師詹姆斯·蒙蒂爾最近在給客戶的備忘錄里說道。他說：“二十世紀五十年代以來，儘管人均收入在同期範圍內有了大幅度的增長，但人們的幸福水平一直特別平穩。”
