Curba fericirii, criza vârstei de mijloc și avantajele nebănuite ale bătrâneții

Abstract

In the middle age, a state of general dissatisfaction sets in for people (a reduced well-being), but then, towards retirement age, people start to feel better emotionally again. It is curious that the same psychological and emotional pattern has been recorded in anthropoid primate species. The article analyzes some possible causes of this universal happiness curve.
