We're all here on this planet to HELP each other, that's what we all seem to forget. People are in general, always out for themselves.
Theres loads of relevent happiness ideas missing from that list, liposuction & tummy tuck would probably make more people happy/content with themselves then resulting in more outward looking happiness/contentment.
My happiness idea is to plant a politician, head down, which I am sure would make many many people happy.

If that is how Lee Brown feels, that's up to him

Of course it is. And I feel that he's being meladramaticically cynical, to the point where he's bending the truth into some nasty reality. And it's up to me if I want to feel like that, too. ;)
Wealth inequality in the UK has greatly increased along with the general decline in well being amongst the population.
Over the next 20 years this disparity will increase as those who receive pensions from the huge number of nationalised industries(BT. BGas. etc) that Thatcher denationalised die off to be replaced with people who have no pension of any reasonable worth after a lifetime of working.
So people will become even less secure and more unhappy with their lot in life.
However, people went out and voted for the society they now have, so you get what you deserve.
I am quite happy as I am. I do not worry about life but feel free to moan about something that I do not like. Follow the words of the song" don't worry be happy"

Yes, and i'm sure some of the other intelligent commentators online today also understand that when the knife eventually falls on the safety net, happiness derived from 'phoning a friend' or 'being part of some bigger mess' isn't going to make people any happier with the fact that they are eating food of a quality that is currently being fed to pets at a premium. What will make people happier is being able to say 'i don't care that i am eating what is at present called dogfood', because it is all my circumstances allow and although there isn't much hope of that changing in the medium to long term, i'm fine with that', or, 'i will take responsibility for myself to do whatever i can to live, whether that be work at something menial or grow my own food, even if that means i have to move to somewhere where i can do that'. I think that this happiness question comes down to accepting responsibility for your current situation and well as future (and future generations - those you leave behind), whether a government directly affects it or not. I also feel that some people are not capable of achieving contentment or happiness with any situation, nevermind one that 70% of the general population would be happy with...I think this is something that is recognised by all politicians and happiness gurus, even though they will maintain it is.

And as much money as they may have, we're not poor here in this country - no one is. They're going to die on average around 80, pretty much the same as everyone else, and they can't avoid it no matter what they have, nor what they do.
For the tiny period of time we're here in the great scheme of things, I really don't spend much of it worrying about how much other people earn, as long as I'm getting paid for my labour.

I'll take it you mean the doctrine telling you you are a sinner before you're even born, unwilling of god's love, and are lucky to be offered the chance of avoiding death if you only love the same god you're supposed to fear.
If that's where you get your happiness, be my guest. Sounds like a pretty nasty, masochistic idea to me.
I am neither religious or interested in joining a happiness cult, but there are some good deeds listed above that are a great idea. Why we need make official pledges to be a good person I do not understand. Do what you can where you can.
