The power to manage their schedules while fitting in hobbies, love and laughter are all important for Germans, according to pollsters Forsa, who asked more than 2,000 14-69 year-olds whether different things made them happy.

And while that study examined specific happiness factors, another suggested that what made most people happy was the ability to be able to live in the here and now, shortly followed by fulfilling one's potential, Handelsblatt financial newspaper said.
