Most people would choose the object. 11's logical. You can keep the object for years but the experience may be over in days, hours or even minutes. Well, eccording to recent research, if you want to be happier for longer, choose the experience, rT | ‘magine you could have either the object ‘Thomas Gilovich is Professor of Psychology at Cornell Usiversity in the United States . His research auggeste that people who spend money on experiences are generally happier then those who buy physical Objects. f0 why are experiences more important to our ‘wellbeing than possessions? 4 Although the majority of people thitik ir better to spend money on something physical, Professor Gilovich has found that the opposite is true, People tend to believe en experience will come and go, They fee! they will be left with very little when compared to owning an item. But in reality we remember experiences long afterwards, while we son get used to our possessions cor even bored with them, ‘The research also looked at other differences, including how people felt before a purchase or experience, Professor Gilovich says that people 100k forward to enjoying an excerience more than owning ‘an object. So before getting a new smartphone, for exemple, its exciting to think about owning the object, itself. But more pleasure comes from thinking about ‘what you can do with the object and how you can share expariences with others, another area of the pest: to have or to do? research was how people felt after choosing not to do o: buy something, * Soyou mey feel worse about not going to see a band writh friends than not buying a new pairs of jeans. Pethaps one of the most important results from the research was the effect on identity, — sesssane- Professor Gilovich believes that who we are isn’t a dizect result of the things that ‘we own, He says that our experiences are a bigger part of ourselves and that even though can really like your reaterial things, they are separate from who ‘youare, In other words, they aren't a part of your identity. He adds however, that we are connected ta our experiences, Trexperiences make a person, thay also make a community. They ate very often shared with family and fiends, face-to-face and on social media, Even if they last only a very short time, they become partof the stories that we tell each other. They can be remembered across different communities and generations. Even if an experience has made someone unheppy, describing whet happened can make that person feel more positive abou things. So we connect more with other people when sharing experiences than when comparing objects. ‘Thenext time you're bombarded by adverts on TY, online and on the streets, may’e rake a moment to decide how you want to spend your money But you won't enjoy them Pare ratte tensie about where you went in your new trainers than about the trainers themselves,1 Wake up your s GRAMMAR 1) crease the correct words to compete the conversation, ‘A: Oh, his ooks / is looking fur pentose What “ae you looting / do you look a7 ‘2 Ono of thse personaty quizzes How adventurous ra you? 1 choose the correct meaning (A or 8) for each ‘shah wade together 8B: Hin, *7m not realy enjoying || don't really enjoy cuizes Ihe that: 1 My dad non ightssowecontseerucrof him go, come a We tava done dr o ary heir vest ages. tllbee laugh Te frst question's abut food ow many A This true just this wee, ‘ew types of food *have you tried / have you been trying so far this The tr very ec Year?
