Except Your Local News, Of Course.

A new study evaluated the things happy people do versus the things unhappy people do.
They found one major difference: TV watching. Happy people watch LESS TV than unhappy people.
Check out The New York Times article about the study.
If you’re an avid TV watcher, however, take heart: there’s a “chicken and the egg” aspect to this story. It’s not a clear cause-and-effect. Study authors weren’t sure whether watching TV made people more unhappy, or whether unhappy people just ended up sitting at home watching TV. They did note that happier people spent more time on social activities, visiting people and participating in group activities.
