People are often born happy, or unhappy, due to wiring in our brains — but fortunately, there are things that ALL of us can do to become happier.
“Socializing is hugely associated with being happy,” psychology professor Sonja Lyubomirsky told me.
I pushed back: “I’m an introvert. I don’t WANT to socialize.”
“Okay, we actually did a study where we asked both introverts and extroverts for one week to act more extroverted,” she responded. Her study found just socializing “a little more” made people happier.
What other things make people happy? That’s in the video above.
