People will often say "You can't change other people." My research shows this societal belief is not only dis-empowering, it is scientifically false.

Following celebrities or people you don't regularly see in person often doesn't add to our happiness. The best use of social media is to deepen existing close relationships or create new ones.

For me, I love dancing!

There is no greater prediction in the research of our levels of happiness than the breadth and depth of our relationships.

Surfing the web often comes at the cost of face-to-face time with friends and family.

Too often we forget how powerful we are as individuals to shape how other people see the world. Each one of us constantly broadcasts to other people - whether consciously or unconsciously - verbally or non-verbally - and those messages influence their brain.

Fun can be a great motivator.
