The Habits of Happy People

I think about this a lot. What makes me sad is seeing so many needy people in our society. I can't understand how people who can more than afford to help are so selfish.

Probably not watching the news is a key I would bet.

As a late-diagnosed middle-aged autistic adult, I can tell you that my late diagnosis changed EVERYTHING about my life and made room for the possibility of contentment, a sense of control, peace, moments of intense joy, a life kinda bordering on a feeling of happiness, probably closer to content - BUT SO MUCH BETTER. I can tell you that GRATITUDE is absolutely something that starts intentionally and kinda superficially and blossoms in to a natural reaction / habit with profound impact. Don't forget to do unto others, be the change, get what you give!I can also tell you that, as an autistic person, other than gratitude and rejecting complacency, making positive choices and keeping healthy decisions as part of your routine... everything else you mentioned for happiness would absolutely be torture to me. Example, don't chat with me on a bus with the intent of making me happier, don't randomly call me, don't tell me I'm beautiful (ew, risk/vulnerability feeling goes way up no matter who you are).... YOU might feel happier after that, I feel violated and in crisis. I appreciate these episodes so(ooo) much. I enjoy the topics, the candor, the guests and their demeanor, the sound quality overall and presentation is pleasant on my ears, the through line in general.... Thank you immensely for what you do and how you do it!

We (Bangladeshi) students are currently peacefully protesting against quota,but Student League an organization of the government ambushed us.Nearly two hundred people were injured and many were killed in the attack. At this time we need you very much because the journalists of our country are on the side of the government.They have no news on this issue.They have not promoting about on this issue.Seeking freedom has now become a crime for us. #Save_Bangladeshi_students #ALjazerra #Bbcnews #CNN #TheWashingtonPost #TheNewYorkTimes #TheGuardian #BBC #AlJazeeraEnglish #TheWallStreetJournal #CNBC #DhruvRathee #UnitedNations #NewYorkTimesOpinion #ABCNews #NewYorkPost #ProjectNightfall #AbhiandNiyu #QuotaReformProtest #বাংলাদেশ_কোটা_আন্দোলন #কোটা_আন্দোলন_২০২৪ #no_more_quotha #protect_students #save_students #bangladesh_quotha_movement #focus_on_bangladesh

Thanks for this piece! There should be more advocacy for happiness. In my view, putting yourself in the appropriate state of mind when engaging with others with kindness and positivity may feel like a discipline in the beginning, but it quickly turns into basic hygiene and eventually becomes natural. And you feel so much better in so many situations... 👍

Feeling like you have some control over your life is what makes you happy i think Feeling like you have no control makes you sad and depressed

I know for a fact that we are born a certain way. I popped out happy and wanting to help and spent my allowance buying my mom lipsticks, etc My brother popped out an angry lil brat who wouldn't share Now, as an 1¹adult, I'm still happy and poor and he is still unhappy and rich. My life is sooo hard, but I'd not trade it for his, ever !!

Don't be conclusive about things. Makes one happier.

Please focus on Bangladesh

Bangladeshi students are being attacked; even Al Jazeera has covered this news. We urgently need international attention and support to protect our students and ensure their safety. Please help us spread awareness and bring justice to those affected. Cover our news and raise your voice for Bangladeshi students.
