More people may be looking to purchase Brazilian property if a proposed happiness bill goes through in the country.
The legislation, which the Senate is expected to approve, would make the pursuit of contentment a social right in the country's constitution, alongside housing, health, food, work and other essential needs.
"Happiness isn't a game, people confuse it with something that is superfluous and it isn't," director of non-governmental organisation the Happier Movement, which supports the proposals, Mauro Motoryn said.
"It's about creating conditions for people to pursue happiness, but with training, with knowledge, preparing us to be a more advanced society in the future," the Associated Press quoted him as adding.
The legislation would insert the phrase "pursuit of happiness" into Article Six of Brazil's constitution and, although some have questioned how meaningful the move would be, Mr Motoryn explained the Happiness Movement hope it will "provoke discussion".
Prime minister David Cameron recently proposed launching an index to measure contentment in the UK.
