happiness

Happiness is somewhat subjective, so I'm always hesitant to recommend a happiness booster that can fit anyone's set of preferences — but this one seems pretty sound.

I think one of the reasons that people have such a tough time keeping resolutions is because they make resolutions they don't want to keep.

A new year is finally upon us. All of the presents have been appointed new homes, the pulled pork and fancy chocolates are almost gone, the bottles of prosecco are long-since retired, and I'm gradually waking up from my holiday coma — something my friend recently described as feeling like you've taken "a 10-day Ativan."

How happy would you guess we Canadians were last year? Somewhere in the top five happiest countries? Skimming the bottom in our levels of joy?

I'm certain you've heard it before: one of the surefire ways to increase your happiness is to focus on gratitude.
