Want to Be Happier? 14 Top Experts Reveal the 3 Best (and Worst) Strategies for Improving Personal Happiness, Backed by Science - Inc
If you aren't as happy as you would like to be, here's a lot of science--and a bunch of leading scholars--to the rescue.
If you want to be happier, advice is easy to come by. Like how buying a little time can lead to significantly greater life satisfaction. And how avoiding the effect of relative deprivation can lead to greater fulfillment. And how focusing on two overlooked variables can be the key to greater happiness.
The problem is, too much advice can make it hard for you to decide which things to actually do. Or to trying to do too many things at once, which -- as anyone who has ever tried to lose weight or get more fit knows -- quickly leads to doing nothing at all.
That problem is one a team of researchers set out to solve, asking 14 of the world's top happiness scholars to consider and then rank 68 different ways people can increase their own happiness, based on effectiveness and feasibility.
In short, to turn a laundry list of potential options into two or three things anyone can do to be happier.
