…elements of happiness…

I meant to share this some time ago. I wish I could say that I did not due to an excessively busy life but in reality, I just didn’t feel like it. Since I can’t get to sleep, I figured I would catch up on my blogs and perhaps share a little….

For years, researchers at Harvard conducted a longitudinal study by following a group of  people through periods in life.  The case studies were compiled into book format and conclusions were drawn about the meaning of a happy life. I found it to be quite fascinating, particularly because of the great deal of research to conduct a longitudinal study over 72 years and the rate of participation among the cohorts was phenomenal. Simply reading the document, “The Elements of Happiness,” on the website is sort of cool too.
