Be happy for better health, more money

Mental well-being - happiness, in other words - leads to better health and more success at the workplace, according to researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Economics in Jena, Germany, who examined data from a 15-year British survey.

Respondents in the survey regularly reported their mental well-being, marital status, health, job success and income as well as levels of stress, depression or anxiety.
