Scientific studies show that the happiness curve of life resembles a U-shape. Teenagers and young adults are quite satisfied with their lives until about the age of 30. After that, feelings start to decline. People become increasingly unhappy until they reach the lowest point at the age of 42.5. After this, many experience a continuous rise in their level of satisfaction. But what causes this?
