People who speak the phrase "I love you", experiencing joy, comparable with joy at the news of winning 163,424 pounds in a lottery. This is evidenced by the results of the study, outlined in the book "You are really rich, just yet do not know it." Its content is partially quoting The Daily Telegraph.
The authors of the book, Steve Henry and David Alberts, set themselves to prove that in life there are things far more valuable than money. To do this, they conducted opinion poll, asking a thousand people called the 50 events in life, when they were happy. Each of these respondents had to evaluate in monetary terms: compare the joy of this event and of winning the lottery, a certain sum of money.
The study declaration of love has got only second place. In the first place turned out to stay in good health - he estimated about 180 thousand pounds. In third place - a stable relationship between partners, they are "worth" almost 155 thousand pounds.
Living in a safe and secure country, estimated at 130 thousand pounds, the pleasure of their own children - to 123 thousand, the family pastime - to 110 thousand, laughter - to 108, Sex - 105.
It is also interesting events and states, not the top ten. Thus, reading the book was in 2,5 times "more expensive" campaign in the film - 54 thousand to 22-s. The pleasure of work valued at 37 thousand pounds, and a foretaste of the output - in 50 thousand. Prospects good day in the morning (18 thousand) are much "cheaper" to return home in the evening (45 thousand).
  The authors argue that wanted to build a new scale of values, an alternative currency. In their view, it is important during an economic crisis, especially when people want to see the good in life.
British researchers are not the first to come up with to use the money as a unit for measuring satisfaction. This yardstick has used Russia's Dmitry Prigov writer in his book "Calculations of life." "If you treat them (money) as to the general global mediators (such as the medieval philosopher's stone), then life will appear to us totally convertible and a completely different cost-reporting category" - wrote a classic of Moscow conceptualism. In addition, a rating of 200 pleasures was Andrew Knyshev. He stood in the first place, the pleasure of a long contemplation of himself in the mirror (in a good mood).
