One does not need to go very far in search of happiness, for it may lie in doing very simple things like spending time with family and enjoying a good work-life balance.

In the study of 4,000 adults between 18 and 65, researchers found that six hours sleep a night, a 20 minute commute to work, and two hours a day playing with the children are the key things which lead to contentment.

They also socialize with friends once a week, watch three episodes of their favourite soap opera, and exercise up to four times over seven days.

"Brits aren't after expensive holidays or fast cars to make them happy, but the simpler things in life," the Telegraph quoted a spokesman for the dairy company Yeo Valley, which commissioned the research, as saying.
