Aristotle once wrote that “happiness is a state(状态) of activity” In other words, whether you want life-long happiness or a few moments of good cheer, you’ve got to move forward. We’ve found five steps to take toward happiness.
University of Illinois researchers asked nearly 1,200 people how money, volunteer activities and close relationships influenced their happiness. Reported Newsweek’s Sharon Begley on the findings, “The highest levels of happiness are found in the most stable（稳定的） relationships. ” The new study found those who were friends of happy people had a greater chance of being happy themselves.
Singing aloud, talking to a stranger: all may increase a feeling of happiness, according to the study. Participants(参与者)followed the advice for two weeks and felt happier.
The researchers also gave $5 or $20 to 46 strangers by chance. Half the group was told to spend the money on themselves, while the other half was told to spend it on others. Those who spent the wealth on others felt much happier than those who spent it on themselves. There was no difference in happiness between those who spent $5 or $20, suggesting that it’s not how much money you spend, but how you spend it, that bring joy and satisfaction.
What’s more, Studies showed that discouraged (气馁的) people who wrote down three good things each day for six months became happier.
