Yeah, but I do feel the weight of the inability to take those risks.

Nick PowdthaveeGUEST
And you can imagine the young people of today, and actually not just young people, but most people feel that kind of, because it hasn't happened yet.

Nick PowdthaveeGUEST
And one of the things that kind of drive our motivation is how do I... better myself so that I don't, I'm not left behind.

Nick PowdthaveeGUEST
So that's one of the major findings in the science of happiness is that people really compare themselves to others to judge whether or not, am I doing well? And really, I mean, I can tell you this whole story about whether money makes people happy, because that's part of the crucial bit about, you know, a good representation of whether or not we care about how other people are doing.

Nick PowdthaveeGUEST
For example, if we were to kind of say people in this office and we know each person's income, and if we were to kind of put the richest to the poorest, We can actually kind of, and then ask for their life satisfaction and happiness.

Nick PowdthaveeGUEST
We can actually, you know, like draw a line and you can see a positive line that the richer you are, the happier or more satisfied your life you would be.

Nick PowdthaveeGUEST
So then people think, oh, that, you know, money must therefore makes people happy.
