Those of you who’ve been reading this blog for a while know that hedonics – the study of what makes us happy or unhappy – is a pet topic of mine. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that I like the graphic below:

Yes, the “Change something” part of the flowchart covers a ridiculously large amount of ground – the “something” could be “your world”, “yourself”, “how you see things” or a mix of the three — and up to several years of work, personal journeying and possibly therapy, but the procedure outlined in the poster is the basic recipe for “happy”.

  • You should read the book "Stumbling on Happiness" by Dan Gilbert. It's all about the brain processes about being happy, and it's utterly fascinating.

  • This is awesome... will definitely be sharing!
    Thank you so much for posting...
    Happily Yours,
