Are “smart” people happier? I see lots of people claiming the exact opposite (usually in reference to themselves ofc) but have never bothered to see if it’s a real study or something.
Of course it's not the only thing, and can be greatly mediated by other factors. From the book Age of Em, citing that and other sources, "people today tend to be both happier and more productive when they have jobs, autonomy at work, health, beauty, money, marriage, religion, intelligence, extroversion, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and non-neuroticism."
