WHAT MAKES PEOPLE THE HAPPIEST?

Making love is the most enjoyable human activity, a study has found. Researchers used text messaging to build up a map of what activities people routinely rated as bringing the most and least happiness to their daily lives and found that sex ranked first in all three categories measured in the survey: Pleasure, meaning and engagement. Drinking alcohol or partying came second in terms of pleasure but only 10th in terms of meaning. This according to the study compiled by Carsten Grimm from the University of Canterbury in New Zealand. Feeling sick was lowest rated in terms of pleasure, it revealed.

  1. Sex
  2. Drinking alcohol
  3. Volunteering
  4. Meditating/religion
  5. Caring for children
  6. Listening to music
  7. Socializing
  8. Hobbies
  9. Shopping
