A teacher of the IESE 40 years old that has been conferred a doctorate in California, Manuel Baucells, explains the equation of the happiness, which relates in each person the capacity of adaptation with the increase of wealth and the comparison with the other ones. It is been able, according to this, to plan rationally the happiness, by anticipating the adaptation to the losses of status and delaying the adaptation to the gratification of the increase of incomes to the utmost.
According to this teacher, the most intelligent is to build the happiness about the basic goods, leaving apart everything another, which is only useful for impressing the other ones. For being happy 11.300 euros are needed per year.
This that preaches, naturally, Dr. Baucells does not believe it; I mean that he believes it for the poor people but not for him. He, as a teacher of a Business School of prestige, charges much more every year, preferring unhappy being. But he teaches it to his students: rich people, sons of rich people or projects of rich people. "Pay your employees the year 11.300 euros. Like this they will be fully happy and you will not sin contributing to their unhappiness."
