Good holiday makes us happier than material possessions

London researchers are doing a study on the secret of the happiness, how people makes more happier? How they come out from stress life? How they leave cheerful life? and And finally they got the secret of the happiness; they suggest that a good holiday keeps us happier for longer than buying material possessions.so what are you waiting for? get the discount coupon from mDeals and go for limo hire trip and keep enjoying your holidays.


Psychologist Professor Thomas Gilovich, of Cornell University, New York, and colleagues passed out the research into why people get more enduring happiness from experiences than possessions. They found that memories of the trip away bring us greater joy because they are more individual and harder for us to compare with the holidays of others.



Meanwhile, the gloss is often taken off shiny, new purchases when we see newer, better models owned by other people. "Your experiences are inherently less comparative," the Daily Express quoted Gilovich as saying. "They're undermined much less by invidious social comparisons. Imagine you buy a flat-screen TV. You're very happy with it and then find I have a TV with a bigger, clearer picture than yours. That makes you feel a bit disappointed and annoyed. "But suppose you go on a vacation to the Caribbean instead. You may find out I've done the same, and my holiday sounds better than yours. But your unique connection to the Caribbean is less comparable to mine, so your enjoyment isn't undermined as much," Gilovich said.
