In their book Happiness: Unlocking the Mysteries of Psychological Wealth, father and son Ed Diener and Robert Biswas-Diener put pay early on to the myth that you need to be a monetary millionaire to be wealthy. True wealth, according to them, is instead a healthy, well-balanced combination of several elements:
- Life satisfaction and happiness
- Spirituality and meaning in life
- Positive attitudes and emotions
- Loving social relationships
- Engaging activities and work
- Values and life goals to achieve them
- Physical and mental health
- Material sufficiency to meet our needs
Priceless.
