A study was carried out by research specialist Brainjuicer for the book "You Are Really Rich, You Just Don't Know It Yet", which asked over 1,000 people what made them happy.

They were asked to rate 50 different life experiences and compare them with the pleasure from winning the lottery, reports The Daily Telegraph.

A new monetary value was then calculated using a rating system for those things in life which make us happy.

Good health is our most precious possession with a value of £180,105 while being told "I Love You" comes second - worth £163,424.

Living in a peaceful and safe country is worth £129,448; having children is valued at £123,592 and spending time with your family is worth £110,04.

Having a good laugh is valued at £108,021, having sex is worth £105,210, while going on holiday comes in at £91,759 with savouring the peace and quiet priced £89,828.

Reading a book is worth £53,660 whereas going to the cinema comes in at half that £21,615.

Being happy at work is £37,229 but looking forward to the weekend is worth more at £49,764.

Getting up in the morning and anticipating a good day is worth £17,652 whereas more people prefer getting home in the evening as it's worth £45,328.

Eating chocolate comes higher than cooking a meal, £40,808 compared with £31,947.

Supporting a team is valued at £29,100 while playing can be more so £23,475.

Having a pet is worth £78,640 as a companion but a priceless baby is worth much more at £123,592.
