Laszlo Bock (the SVP of People Operations at Google), wrote this short article on LinkedIn just before Thanksgiving 2014, which I saw pop up in my LinkedIn feed. For so short an article, it really does give some pointed and relevant advice and information on what to do to bring happiness into your life, which I here summarize:
- Expressing gratitude makes you happier.
- Research shows that, when things happen, it makes us either sad or happy. That effect tends to attenuate over time and reverts to a baseline level of happiness or sadness.
- Research also shows that those who identify as more grateful stay happier longer.
- Take two minutes each day to write down three things for which you are grateful; or to thank or praise a person you know.
