May 6: Guidelines to a happy life



I toy with the idea of playing hooky on this blue skied day, but my protestant ethics do not allow. I do enjoy the talks though. Psychiatrist Dr. Mark Berber lectures on “Turning on the Happiness Button”. His 8 keys to happiness (as validated by research) are:



  1. Nurture relationships
  2. Express gratitude
  3. Practice kindness
  4. Learn to forgive
  5. Savour the moment
  6. Avoid irrational thinking
  7. Embrace spirituality
  8. Care for your body


I’ll add from my own (unvalidated) list:


Surround yourself with music

Schedule time for yourself

Be content
