PeopleB次元官网网址檚 joy in helping strangers remains higher than before the pandemic, according to the latest issue of the World Happiness Report.
John Helliwell, a professor emeritus at the Vancouver School of Economics, has been on working on the global happiness report for over a decade and says that B次元官网网址渢he level of resiliency of life evaluations was very considerableB次元官网网址 through the pandemic.
B次元官网网址淚n 2022, the levels of benevolence to others, especially the happiness of doing something to help strangers, was still more than a quarter above what it was in the pre-pandemic years,B次元官网网址 he said.
Helliwell said the report found that a support system and the goodness of others can both help people in crisis. HeB次元官网网址檚 excited to share his findings at the various conferences he has coming up, including one in September at the University of Pennsylvania.
If anyone is to take one highlight away from this yearB次元官网网址檚 report, Helliwell said it is that there needs to be a change in creating happier workplaces.
B次元官网网址淵ou see the assumption is if we need a happier workplace, we have to pay them more. ThatB次元官网网址檚 not the point at all,B次元官网网址 he said.
B次元官网网址淵ou have to have to flatten your your power structures and B次元官网网址 flatten your pay structure so youB次元官网网址檙e not the top on the bottom, youB次元官网网址檙e all in this together.B次元官网网址
Another discussion featured in the report is what the next ten years of the World Happiness Report will focus on, namely mental health.
B次元官网网址淭he (words), mental health, has been taken over in a way to become a codename for mental illness. And, of course, the whole purpose of positive psychology and of our report is to emphasize that establishing the positives is more important than just merely eliminating negatives.B次元官网网址
