A new study has found that being ''nice'' makes people happier.
Being kind linked to staying healthy
According to a new survey by airline company Monarch, titled the 'Power of Nice', following a bleak year which saw Britain leave the European Union (Brexit) and Donald Trump being elected as President of America, 89 percent of Brits want to return to the traditional values of chivalry, respect and kindness.
Nils Christy, Monarch's Chief Operations Officer, said: ''Recent events have meant we've been surrounded by lots of negativity and nasty rhetoric. At Monarch we are big believers in the power of nice and we wanted to prove how a little kindness can not only improve the lives of those around you but also benefit you as an individual.
''Monarch is often described as the nicer way to fly, so we are campaigning to make 2017 the Year of Nice - bringing it back one flight and holiday at a time.''
It found kind and polite people were happier, healthier and more successful than their nasty counterparts.
18 percent of Brits think you have to be ruthless to get ahead in business, 34 percent say ''nice'' people enjoy their jobs and just over 50 percent believing they are successful professionally because they friendly.
