on Dec 6th, 2008Happiness is Contagious! Spread The Love!

I’m a rather happy person. If there’s anything troubling me, I just sleep it through and tomorrow’s a better day 明天会更好 !

I found that when I exercise and my body produces more happy hormones, I am less easily sick. During stressful periods such as exams or project datelines, I am more prone to getting sick, perhaps psychosomatic?

So let’s all be happy people and maybe the world will be a better place :)

Taken from Discovery Channel:

A paper being published Friday in a British medical journal concludes that happiness is contagious — and that people pass on their good cheer even to total strangers.

American researchers who tracked more than 4,700 people in Framingham, Mass., as part of a 20-year heart study also found the transferred happiness is good for up to a year.

“Happiness is like a stampede,” said Nicholas Christakis, a professor in Harvard University’s sociology department and co-author of the study. “Whether you’re happy depends not just on your own actions and behaviors and thoughts, but on those of people you don’t even know.”
