The little things in life may make you happy or sad but over all they have a small effect on life. Dan Gilbert has research why people are happy and explains it to us.
Listening to Dan's talk I started thinking about what makes me happy, a lot of it is small things but in the long run they don't really matter. As he's talking about synthetic happiness I tried to think about it in my life. How many times has something gone wrong in your life but turned out for the better? For me i feel like it happens all the time. When he starts talking about how people think what they own is better then the other thing, whatever it may be, I'm shocked. I have talked to so many people who have argued that the think they just bought is way better then the one whoever got because of this, this, and this. Really they are the same stop complaining! This week listen to your friends and see if they do it.
