@fryrsquared: I have actually been using this sentence myself for about three years, and I feel GREAT. And if that's not scientific proof I don't know what is. Oh. That's right. Actual papers. So here's the paper on lottery winners - its an absolute classic: Lottery winners and accident victims, Brickman 1978 And a nice paper on the effect of gratitude: Counting blessings versus burdens, Emmons and McCullogh 2003 Please do add your favourite papers below. #happiness #hannahfry #science #psychology
Oh. The 5 words I was expecting was ‘fish and chips for tea’.

If your an optimist then it would mean there are even better days to be had

Just listening to Hannah talk, about nothing in particular, raises my happiness baseline. It's such a soothing & reassuring voice, full of love, like an old friend saying hello ❤️

Happiness is fleeting! It is a product of natural selection and how we have evolved. We do something that improves our chances of survival.

as you feel it, you'll know it's true that you are blessed and lucky.
It's true that you are touched by something that will grow and bloom in you.
These are days you'll remember
