How to Be a Better Human

NOTE

Small but significant increases in happiness through suggested practices

Small but consistent increases in people's self-reported happiness suggest that the practices being suggested can work./nIncreasing social connection is a significant factor in boosting happiness./nGetting in touch with a person you care about but haven't been in touch with for a while can have a positive impact on happiness./nChanging other behaviors, rather than changing one's body or losing weight, is more likely to increase happiness./nTreating oneself and practicing self-care, such as buying a bubble bath, may not necessarily contribute to long-term happiness.
