Money does produce happiness, but only up to a point [Harari]
     Full Idea: An interesting conclusion (from questionnaires) is that money does indeed bring happiness. But only up to a point, and beyond that point it has little significance.
     From: Yuval Noah Harari (Sapiens: brief history of humankind [2014], 19 'Counting')
     A reaction: The question is whether that flattening-off point is relative to those around us, or absolute, according to the needs of living. Though these two may not be separate.
