One “must” for this week
A study on personality and life satisfaction reveals that having fun is the most important trait linked to high life satisfaction.
Other traits include being active, having self-control, remaining calm under pressure, and trusting others. On the other hand, traits linked to low life satisfaction include feeling misunderstood, lacking excitement, and fear of being alone.
I can’t agree more that prioritizing fun can lead to a happier life.

3 个月Thank you for the list of resources, Roberto! Will check out some of them to draw inspiration and facts for my first newsletter that I am working on - "Insights for Future" :) https://www.dhirubhai.net/newsletters/7223615977542856704/

3 个月Thank you for sharing this thought-provoking post on the connection between personality traits and life satisfaction. The study you highlighted, emphasizing the importance of having fun, brings up an interesting point. The relationship between fun and life satisfaction seems more complex. If life satisfaction is intrinsically linked to personality, it suggests that fun, as a trait, is an inherent part of who we are rather than something we can simply prioritize or add to our lives. In essence, prioritizing fun might not be as straightforward as it sounds, because if it's not a natural part of someone's personality, it cannot be forced or prioritized externally. Fun, as an intrinsic part of our behavior, reflects deeper aspects of our personality and cannot be artificially inserted into our daily routine.

4 个月We will spend a staggering 90,000 hours at work over our lifetime - so why not fill some of that time with humour? Norwegian researchers have also found that humour can extend our life Roberto so there's even more reasons to prioritise fun in our daily lives. Thanks for sharing and have a great start to the week.

4 个月Informative article Roberto. Thank you for sharing! Causality could also be flowing in the other direction, i.e. people who are more satisfied with their lives have generally more fun.
