If you read “Here are the things that are proven to make you happier” and want more information, look no further.

Five of the best sources I came across are below, with links and descriptions:

“Utilizing sophisticated methodology and three decades of research by the world’s leading expert on happiness, Happiness challenges the present thinking of the causes and consequences of happiness and redefines our modern notions of happiness.

The Happiness Advantage

“In The Happiness Advantage, Shawn Achor, who spent over a decade living, researching, and lecturing at Harvard University, draws on his own research — including one of the largest studies of happiness and potential at Harvard and others at companies like UBS and KPMG — to fix this broken formula.

The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom

“In his widely praised book, award-winning psychologist Jonathan Haidt examines the world’s philosophical wisdom through the lens of psychological science, showing how a deeper understanding of enduring maxims-like Do unto others as you would have others do unto you, or What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger-can enrich and even transform our lives.” Check it out here.

The Happiness Project

“In this lively and compelling account, Rubin chronicles her adventures during the twelve months she spent test-driving the wisdom of the ages, current scientific research and lessons from popular culture about how to be happier.” Check it out here.

The How of Happiness

“Drawing upon years of her own pioneering research with thousands of men and women, psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky reveals that much of our capacity for happiness is within our power.
