Happiness = ?

Look what I found online.

A survey found the following “secrets of happiness”:


Hours of uninterrupted sleep: 6hr 15min
Commute to work: 20min
Home-cooked meals: 5
Exercise a week: 2hr 45min
Time spent outdoors: 2hr 49min
Play with children each day: 2hr
Time with partner: 3hr 58min
Watching TV: 2hr
Nights out a week: 1
Alcoholic drinks a week: 4
Takeaways a week: 1
Weekend breaks a year: 3
Holidays abroad: 2
Hours at work a day: 7hr
15min Meals out a month: 3
Shopping trips a month: 4
Get home from work: 5.42pm


I don't know what takeaways or 15min Meals out means. Does Weekend break, mean a long weekend or a weekend when you're not working (which is pretty general)? And how many people actually plan 2 abroad vacations a year when they have children?I understand that this list is from the Brits, so how it translates to American living is to be determined. But with these statistics, I wonder if the Brits are happier than we are.
