Anytime I read anything about scientists or science trying to justify, describe or prove anything about happiness, my skepticism is immediately raised. This however, is one I definitely agree with. Thanks for the link.
Haha, when I saw this title in my RSS reader, the first thing that popped to my mind was “Yes Man,” which of course got me in a fit of giggles.
I definitely agree with these, especially more smiling, saying thank you, and exercising. Whenever I’m feeling stressed, or even just bored, I go out for a run. The fresh air and workout really do help!
