The freedom is one of the leading factors to the happiness.
The freedom is important for all people, but I would claim that the freedom is more important for the males than for the females. Most of our actions are related to the freedom and we want to achieve freedom with them.
E.g. we want to earn more money, because in the material world the money gives you freedom. We want to own a house and this would give us independence from the hirer. We want to have a car and have freedom to drive wherever we want when we want.
It is interesting to find out all sub-factors, which give us the feeling of freedom. As freedom is related to the happiness, the sub-factors of freedom will lead to happiness.
The power may be a tricky sub-factor. On one side if we have political and economical power we feel free to do the things on our own way, but on the other side this power leads to more responsibilities, which limits our freedom. As one smart man said: "Huge power leads to huge responsabilities".
Many people like to fly with airplane, own a yacht, do surfing, spend time on the sea coast. All actions, which involve sky, sea and travel give you some level of freedom.
To find out how important the freedom is for you, you have to test it. You have to test the different sub-factors of freedom and see how would that affect your happiness level.
