'The Science of Happiness - If You're Happy and You Know It' - By Soulpancake

Posted by John Lee

THE more successful you are, the happier you are. Right? Or is it, 'The happier you are, the more successful you are'?

It's probably a question many people could argue about all day long. Maybe it simply depends on your outlook on life and your personal circumstances?

Which comes first? Happiness or success?

Well never fear, because the team at Soulpancake are here to help.

In the characteristically bright, fun video below, they examine precisely this question.

The video features two groups of people, one of which is rewarded to raise their level of happiness.

Each group is then set a task, requiring a little lateral thinking, to see which copes best.

OK, it's maybe not the most scientific of experiments. But the results are rather pleasing. And as you would expect from Soulpancake, there's plenty of warmth and humor.

As for the outcome, well, you'll just have to take a look.....
