– Millennials are 33% more likely to engage in sports related play when seeking happiness.
– Gen Xers are the more social group, listing hosting and socializing as their top happiness activities.
– Boomers were 31% more likely to use volunteering as their greatest connection and path to feeling more fulfilled.
