You don't need millions to be happy. In fact, at the Happiness Training Centre in Australia, a couple of hundred dollars may be enough. The training centre opened its doors last year, and, since then, men and women of all ages have been paying A $ 200 an hour for lessons on how to feel great. "You can really increase your happiness levels. That's what we teach, " said Timothy Sharp, beginner of the centre.      Experts say that only about 15 per cent of happiness comes from income and finance(收入及财务). As much as 85 per cent comes from things such as attitude, life control and relationships.      Most of us are better off financially than our parents and grandparents, but happiness levels haven't changed to match that.      Studies show that once the basic needs of housing and food are met, other wealth adds very little to happiness.      Scientists now say part of the reason we are richer but not happier is that we compare ourselves to people better off. "      The fact is that if you want to be happy, there's a very simple thing you can do: compare yourself to people who are less well off than you-poorer, smaller house, etc. ," said Sharp.      The Happiness Training Centre hopes to show you how to overcome these unhappiness factors(因素) by paying attention to" more than just your bank account".     "If I compare myself to Bill Gates, then I'm always going to be down," said Sharp.
