MADRID--What is it that makes people happy? Youth, health, a good job, good looks, a flashy car? None of these things, Spanish experts say.
The concept of happiness is coming under increasingly close examination in Spain.
As the nation rises to the club of the world’ s wealthiest countries, people are discovering that material things do not bring happiness.
“Most people use money as a measure. Of human value,” says Jesus Yunfante, author of a book on Spain’s 300 biggest fortunes.
“Expensive products are regarded as the best. The rich are admired simply for being rich,” Yunfante said.
Yet psychologists warn that happiness cannot be bought. They advise people to look for it in human relations and in the small pleasures of everyday life.
Many people regard happiness as a moment of ecstatic pleasure(狂喜)-- something that, by definition, cannot last--while others speak of it as peace and acceptance of oneself. Polls(问卷调查) in different countries indicate that between 65 and 85 percent of the world’ s population regard themselves as reasonably happy.
Around 40 percent, of a person’s happiness is thought to be determined by genetics, while the rest depends on childhood environment and the process of growing up.
Perhaps the most surprising thing about happiness is that it has little to do with age, health, wealth, or other values thought to be important in Western society.
For most Spaniards, happiness is linked with feeling close to other people.
Happy people accept their limitations and set themselves reachable goals., experts say.
There are lifestyle choices which favour happiness, such as exercise, eating carbohydrates and exposing oneself to sunlight.
But the main secret of happiness is to take pleasure in small things.
“If you are given a choice between eternal (永久的)happiness, and a cheese sandwich, take the sandwich,” advises musician Julian Hernandez.

D
There are three branches of medicine. One is called “doctor medicine,” or “scientific medicine.” Scientific doctors try to observe sicknesses, look for logical patterns, and then find out how the human body works. From there they figure out what treatments may work. This kind of medicine is believed to date from the 4th century BC. Although nowadays it is successful, in the ancient world this approach probably did not cure many patients.
A second kind of medicine is called “natural cures,” or “folk medicine,” in which less educated people try to cure sicknesses with various herbs(中草药). These folk healers also use observation and logic, but they are not so aware of it. They try things until they find something that seems to work, and then keep doing that. Folk medicine flourished long before the development of scientific medicine and was more successful in ancient times than doctor medicine.
The third kind is called “health spas,” or “faith healing.” Sometimes this may be as simple as touching the holy man and being immediately healed. Other times, a magician may make you a magic charm, or say a spell, to cure you. Some religious groups organize special healing shrines for the sick. In these places people rest, get plenty of sleep, eat healthy food, drink water instead of wine, and exercise in various ways. They also talk to the priests and pray to the gods. If you are feeling depressed or you have been working too hard, going to these places may be just the right thing to make you feel better.
