Both are attempts to show the research results of plotting age v. happiness. The interesting thing is that at about 50 years of age, happiness begins to improve steadily.
If you are that age or older, let yourself feel that increasing happiness. Whether it strikes you as logical or not, evidence based or not, you will probably find that your level of happiness is rising. If you are younger than 45 and you can feel your happiness level is low, hang on. Do what you can to nurse yourself to a higher level of happiness. But keep in mind that you may be experiencing the lowest natural level of underlying happiness of your life and that it will most likely rise. We who are older than 50 like to say that the accumulated wisdom and understanding of the years creates more complete happiness but whatever the reason, you can see that the later years are often very good ones. They may be your best ones and possibly for no reason at all.
