Happiness Project

I've been following the happiness project on slate:
http://www.slate.com/blogs/blogs/happinessproject/

It is less lame than it sounds and has some reasonable suggestions. My major complaint is it is too many suggestions. Before I have a chance to try something the next set of suggestions has been posted.

  1. I loved my college course on Positive Psychology. And yet, the entire class served 3 purposes: 1) It allowed my teachers to tell interesting anecdotes backed by poorly done surveys to solidify relatively hollow 'laws.' 2) It was a platform for my teacher to sell his book Authentic Happiness. 3) Even though it was based on crap-science-- I still feel like I got some potent takeaways.

    Jess has been reading the happiness project, too.
