The Science of Happiness

Hi,

Most of us have heard of Charles Darwin's "The survival of the fittest". Not many of us have heard of him also saying "Sympathy is our kindest instinct".

Now scientists in UC Berkeley are reporting that compassion and happiness are linked. Compassion strengthens our immune system, makes us more intelligent, helps in our survival as an individual as well as a species.



Cheers

Dan Gilbert tells us how to make ourselves happy

Dan Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness, challenges the idea that we’ll be miserable if we don’t get what we want. Our "psychological immune system" lets us feel truly happy even when things don’t go as planned.

Be Happy
