At last! A website that keeps everyone happy. Or almost – I’m sure there is someone who can find something wrong with anything. The website houses research findings, media report summaries, self-help ideas and the odd humorous take on happiness. 

Here are some interesting key ideas from an article posted on the website from the Scientific American Mind magazine:

– The concept of laughter as a cure for disease lacks scientific support, but humor may indeed have significant effects on the psyche.
– Laughter relaxes us and improves our mood, and hearing jokes may ease anxiety. Amusement can also counteract pain.
– Cheerfulness, a trait that makes people respond more readily to humor, is linked to emotional resilience—the ability to keep a level head in difficult circumstances—and to close relationships. Life satisfaction may increase with the ability to laugh.
