VISITING the library, dancing and swimming can make people as happy as a pay rise worth thousands of euro, a new study states.
Researchers from the London School of Economics found that sports, culture and the arts have a significant impact on people's happiness. They assessed how much money it would take to give people a similar boost in their level of well being.
They concluded that playing sport weekly is equivalent to being given an extra £1,127 (€1,370) a year on average, while regular involvement in the arts is worth £1,084 a year.
