Want to be happy? Get involved in politics

Oh and do things like fall in love:

Studies collated by the [World Happiness Database] say you tend to be happier if you:

• Are in a long-term relationship

• Are actively engaged in politics

• Are active in work and in your free time

• Go out for dinner

• Have close friendships (though happiness does not increase with the number of friends you have)
