Happiness

I just learned that there is an actual Journal of Happiness Studies - I think I may get Terry a subscription since he seems to have a particular radar out for science about happiness. Below is a link to a summary of some of the research Terry's been talking about (relating happiness to income level, genetics, and other factors). It's actually quite interesting.

The bottom line: "If you want to be happy, put in a good day's work, call some friends, drop in to the gym, then go out and help a young person across the street." Sounds good to me :-)

Of course Terry's version of "giving back to the community" may not be perceived the same by everybody... (ask him about it!) :-P
