Myth: more money will make me happier
“Our perceptions of pay are relative to what other people are making,” says research psychologist Dr Ronald Riggio. “So even if you are paid a lot – think professional athlete – if you find out a similar other, say another athlete, is making more than you, it can lead to dissatisfaction and unhappiness regardless of the amount you are making.”
Myth: more holidays will make me happier
More time off will only help if being at work makes you miserable. “If you really love your work, offering less time at work obviously won’t make you happy. If you don’t like your job, then it might,” says Riggio.
Myth: changing job or getting a promotion will make me happier
According to research, simply changing jobs won’t make you happier. Psychologists tracked high-level managers for five years and measured their work satisfaction before and after changing job or being promoted.

Estes desempregados, designados como de ‘muito longa duração’ têm, na sua maioria, 35 anos ou mais (75%) e o seu percurso escolar não foi além do 9º ano (58,8%), o que torna mais difícil integrá-los novamente no mercado de trabalho. Os dados do INE permitem ainda concluir que embora a maior parte sejam homens (50,7%), as mulheres também têm uma presença significativa neste grupo.
O peso cada vez maior do desemprego de ‘muito longa duração’ é uma das conclusões que se retira da análise das estatísticas trimestrais do desemprego, divulgadas pelo INE, que dão ainda conta de um ligeiro aumento da taxa de desemprego para os 12,2%, depois de ter estabilizado nos 11,9%, entre o segundo e o terceiro trimestres.

The book I know my parents or grandparents wish they had read in the 1960s would have described what globalization was going to do to the world. The book I wish I had read as I left college more than 20 years ago would have told me what the Internet and digitization were going to do to the world. This book explores the industries that will drive the next 20 years of change to our economies and societies. Its chapters are built around key industries of the future – robotics, advanced life sciences, the code-ification of money, cybersecurity, and big data – as well as the geopolitical, cultural, and generational contexts out of which they are emerging. I chose these industries not only because they are important in their own right but because they are also symbolic of larger global trends and symbiotic among each other.
Last, the book looks forward to explore what interventions we can make in our children’s lives to best prepare them for success in a world of increasing change and competition. Parenting is the most important job that a person can have, and our children will grow up to inherit a world that looks much different from our own. We can draw from the wisdom of the innovators profiled in these pages to prepare both ourselves and our children for what’s coming in the next economy—for the economy that begins now.
