Happiness is pretty great, and fortunately there's scientific research on the subject. lukeprog read a lot of this research and summarised it in How to Be Happy.
Come make some tea and discuss the article! We'll raise questions like:
- What's important for happiness? What isn't? (Spoiler: money isn't, once you're over the poverty line.)
- Do any of lukeprog's conclusions seem wrong? Do any seem surprising?
- Have you ever done any of the things lukeprog recommends for becoming happier – such as becoming more extroverted, or switching to more fulfilling work? What effect did it have on your happiness?
