Understanding the science of timing and its impact on happiness levels at different stages of life can help in improving productivity in a business setting by allowing managers to better align tasks with employees' natural rhythms. For instance, knowing that happiness climbs in early adulthood, begins to slide in the late thirties, reaches a trough in the early fifties, and then recovers quickly so that most of us are happier over the age of 70 than we were at 18, can help managers assign tasks that match these stages. Younger employees might be more suited to tasks that require high energy and optimism, while older employees might excel in roles that require wisdom and experience. Furthermore, understanding these patterns can help in providing support and resources to employees during their less happy stages, thereby maintaining productivity.

What they have found is that, across socioeconomic and demographic circumstances, happiness climbs in early adulthood; begins to slide in the late thirties; reaches a trough in the early fifties; then recovers quickly so that most of us are happier over the age of 70 than we were at 18. A lot of this mid-life dip seems to be the result of the unrealistic expectations we tend to harbor in our youth.
