if i asked you “what is happiness”
what would you say?
its tricky right
its also abstract
because there is no threshold that you pass...
et voilà…
you’re happy
right?!
but what if there was a number that answers the question for everyday people like us living everyday lives?
im gonna share this number with you in a moment
but right now let me show you where this number comes from and how this number facilitates happiness
.
.
see, theres this brazilian study
by the bolsa familia program, "the largest conditional cash transfer system in the world"
recipients send their kids to school and get vaccined
in return they get a small but steady income
and the results were baffling:
because many families who received this number were significantly less likely to die by suicide
but this number is so small it even feels ridiculous to say it out loud
yet for those receiving it each month its not laughable at all
because it can mean the difference between life and death
and that means, and this will surprise you, that…
money can buy happiness
because the number that makes these brazilian families happy is $17 a month
yep, $17
which shows one thing very clearly…
.
.
suicide isnt only mental
no
the study reveals that mental health is also rooted in economic stress
when your basic needs are met— food, shelter, education, medicine — your mental health improves
and money helps you cover these needs
which also means that…
money makes happy
money makes healthy
and happy makes healthy
its hard to thrive when youre hungry, unsafe, or in pain
everyone understands that
but you also know from ○ homo happy 9 that temporary pain is actually and ironically the way to thrive and grow
so the important thing is the duration of the suffering, the non-stop suffering, that makes mental stress so challenging that you can feel the only way out is to cease to exist
and very understandably so
which makes money a way to stay in
to keep enjoying
to keep experiencing… life as you please
because money makes the essentials possible…
* healthcare
* therapy
* safe housing
* nutritious food
* vacation & time off
and while these essentials dont guarantee happiness, they for sure create the conditions for it
.
.
money is no magic though
money cant fix everything, like toxic relationships
but money can relieve you from the chronic stress that no mindfulness can ever ommm you out
because only one type of product can do that
a product that tackles the core of what it means to be human
and tickles your diaphragm to the point
where you you can heal through the dance of it
because i dont know if you knew but...
it is the diaphragm that enables humans to laugh
and it is financial stability that enables humans to heal and get better
yet we keep telling ourselves that happiness comes from within, as if external conditions dont matter at all
.
.
so if would like to help me maintain financial stability...
