Skander BM commented on The New Science of Happiness on September 6, 2009, 5:39 AM
I think happiness comes from a combination of things: wealth, love, social status etc.There is no hard recipe since everybody values these things differently. However, it is possible to find out how much one specific individual values these different aspects through conjoint analysis, a statistical approach to extract one's real preferences. I tried to implement this in a very simple (but rigorous) way online. Please let me know if you find it useful: http://dingsme.com/ It is perhaps a naive approach but it is fun, and still scientifically accurate (as long as people do take the time to think about the answers).
