What Makes Older People Happy - not surprisingly, experiences that make people happy change over time - NYT http://buff.ly/1ntURsU. For young people trying to figure out who they want to become, extraordinary experiences help establish personal identities. As people become more settled, ordinary experiences become central to a sense of self and therefore more valued. “It’s just what you would expect, this emphasis on savoring what you already have when your time starts to become limited”. Happiness derived from extraordinary experiences remained fairly constant, but pleasure from ordinary experiences increased as people got older. Another experiment demonstrated that an individual’s perception of the future — whether it was open-ended or limited — was a critical factor in explaining the results.
