Some people think that money is one of the most essential factors in promoting happiness. Do you think people can be happy without much money? What other factors contribute towards happiness?
In recent years, there has been a controversial debate about the key components of

having a vital role to play in producing/creating happiness

people can still feel satisfied with their lives. First

worth doing to improve mental health. Many people who are called perfectionists tend to have excessive expectations and then
