“ If governments want to stay in power , they should take the happiness of the people more seriously than economic measures . This is a vitally important finding - perhaps one of the most significant in a generation . It ’ s essential that our leaders look beyond narrow financial measures and focus on the wider set of factors that really affect the wellbeing of the nation - and especially mental health ”.
