After I read a recently released longitudinal study about the spread of happiness in a social network, I noticed this comment from one of the readers.
 
In another more distant time, I was quite depressed, and found that walking up a corridor the automatic door would not open for me, although it would for anyone [...]

When folks find out I wrote a book on happiness, they sometimes eye me with suspicious,  as if they are waiting to see if I will skip away with glee or float on air rather than walk to my car.  Seeking, attracting or maintaining happiness doesn&#8217;t mean you won&#8217;t encounter sadness, upset or sometimes downright [...]

e can so easily slip into longing for what we don&#8217;t have, neglecting to notice the riches we enjoy. I hear people around me complaining about the smallest things while partaking of luscious meals, traveling freely to places they want to go and passing displays of Nature&#8217;s magnificence everyday.

“I had no shoes and complained, until [...]

It&#8217;s a common habit for us to want what we don&#8217;t have and want more of what we do? It&#8217;s the topic of our conversations, and it&#8217;s what advertisers count on to increase their profits.
And yet, when we get our last desire, we are still not satisfied. 
When my oldest daughter was in elementary school, [...]

We&#8217;ve been told that we can make ourselves happy and joyful by &#8220;faking&#8221; it until it becomes real. 
A recent study published in  Psychological Science found just the opposite to be true, at least when it comes to wearing fake designer sunglasses.

n her newsletter today, Linda Miller of ZeroPointRevolution shared the following story. Rather than summarize it,  I thought it would be more powerful for you to read the full version for yourself.
The Daffodil Principle

Several times my daughter had telephoned to say, &#8220;Mother, you must come and see the daffodils before they [...]

sn&#8217;t it interesting that even people who don&#8217;t like to send letters, admit that they love receiving them? 
Letting someone know that they have made a difference in your life makes their day and adds to  your happiness.
