What price happiness
You don't need millions to be happy .
At The Happiness Institute in Australia,
a couple of hundred dollars may do the trick .
Since the institute opened its doors this year,
men and women of all ages have been paying A$200 an hour (US$140) for lessons in how to feel great .
Businesses are spending as much as A$6,000 on half-day happiness workshops for their staff .
"You can actually increase your happiness levels .
That's what we teach," said Timothy Sharp, founder of institute,
which also offers group sessions from A$30 a head .
"We take people from zero and try to put a positive in their happiness bank account .
You don't have to settle just for OKness .
It's no more OK than having a zero bank balance .
You can have a lot more." Sharp said .
Experts say only about 15 percent of happiness comes from income, assets and other financial factors .
As much as 90 percent comes from elements such as attitude, life control and relationships .
"If you're not a natural in any of these areas you can learn to get a lot better at them." Sharp said.
