Ten Myths about Happiness -- Which Do You Believe?
Every Wednesday is Tip Day.
This Wednesday: 10 widespread myths about happiness.
Each day for two weeks, I posted about Ten Happiness Myths. Today, for your reading convenience, I’m posting the entire list, with links.
No. 1: Happy people are annoying and stupid.
No. 2: Nothing changes a person’s happiness level much.
No. 3: Venting anger relieves it.
No. 4: You’ll be happier if you insist on “the best.”
No. 5: A “treat” will cheer you up.
No. 6: Money can’t buy happiness.
No. 7: Doing “random acts of kindness” brings happiness.
No. 8: You’ll be happy as soon as you…
No. 9: Spending some time alone will make you feel better.
No. 10: The biggest myth: It’s selfish to try to be happier.
Agree? Disagree? Am I missing an important myth?

I enjoy Gretchen's Happiness Project posts, too. The "Venting Anger Relieves It" myth was particularly thought provoking. But there was one about the overrated value of spending time alone that I just couldn't get on board with . . . . maybe because having kids and being home with them all day means one never really has time alone!
