It is positively accented, and the person strives to happiness, wants to experience it. Thus it is important to understand what experience is, what its psychological essence is, in order to approach the experience of happiness with all due competence. One of fundamental experiences that makes the person happy is experience of freedom. We understand experience as an “analysis unit” of personality, as a complex interfunctional dynamic system that expresses in a significated form the general personality’s state that occurs under the influence of impression. The happiness’ experience is a complex aspiration of personality to focus on positive aspects of his/her life.While experiencing happiness we become innerly, essentially free, and this feeling of freedom is the basis for the further experiencing of happiness. Alpha and Omega of happiness’experiencing by personality is the person’s inner feeling of freedom.

People with no means of sustaining themselves, rely on microfinance for a variety of services as a means for poverty reduction and increasing happiness. This study employs a Fixed Effects Model to analyze the impact of microfinance and some other macroeconomic factors on poverty reduction in Albania, Montenegro and Bosnia and Hercegovina. Empirical findings suggest that inflation does not play a role on the poverty reduction. On the other hand, total output (GDP) and microfinance (GLP) are found to be highly statistically significant in explaining the poverty reduction in the respective countries. Therefore, putting serious efforts on increasing GDP and supporting microfinance institutions may help the countries reduce the poverty level.

By helping to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, the creative economy influences living standards and provides a sense of happiness. If people are positive and happy, then they are able to produce creative ideas and strive for an active life with an emphasis on achieving goals. For the sake of profitability, the creative sectors of the economy constantly encourage people to be creative, but the ability to generate ideas is unstable, because everything depends on the state of man and the environment in which he lives and works. Therefore, the main task of any country should be to ensure happiness for everyone, which is the basis for the existence of a creative economy. Otherwise, the country will automatically stop its development and begin to degrade rapidly. Human happiness must be not only a key factor in the creative economy for sustainable development, but also a mission for the development of each country and society as a whole.

It is usually used in a somewhat ironic sense. But at the same time, in my opinion, this irony really contains a deep understanding of «what is happiness in Ukrainian». Cordocentrism is considered one of the characteristic features of the Ukrainian mentality. And also antheism (kinship with the native land) and execution (dominance in the psyche of the «feminine principle», but is not synonymous with femininity). All these features have found their embodiment, among other things, in art. And it is precisely the «Incessant worry» that reflects the cordocentrism of the Ukrainian character, and hence the understanding of happiness in Ukrainian. In pursuit of the material components of our everyday life, we have forgotten that happiness is harmony, it is order within ourselves and the creation of a positive attitude around us. Happiness in Ukrainian is coziness, cute little things that make our life more pleasant, it is pleasure from the work that you do, it is your health and your loved ones. And then this «Incessant worry» of Cossack Mamai, a warrior-wise man, in combination with a reeled doll (motanka), acquire a modern sound in our present. It has gone through difficult centuries, tempered in the whirlwind of complex life's vicissitudes and remains national archetypes, the cores of Ukrainian spiritual culture.
