2. 1. Your favorite song is likely associated
with an emotional event.
You and everyone else.

3. 2. Music impacts your perspective.
This one seems kind of obvious! A study at the University of
Groningen showed that music has a dramatic impact on your
perception.

4. 3. The more you spend on others, the
happier you are.
According to various studies. Be sure to give plenty this
holiday season!

5. 4. Spending money on experience instead
of stuff also makes you happier.
Collect memories not things, right?

6. 5. Kids are more high strung today than the
average psych ward patient in 1950.
Which is pretty scary but not surprising. About half the human
population now suffers anxiety, depression, or a sort of
substance abuse.

7. 6. Certain religious practices lower stress.
“The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Mood Disorders”
shows that people who engage in meditation and prayer religiously
are less stressed out.

8. 7. Money does buy happiness, but only up
to $75,000 a year.
For the average American, $75k a year buys happiness. It liberates you
from poverty and gets you what you need in life.

9. 8. Being with happy people makes you
happier.
This should come as no surprise.

10. 9. 18 to 33 year olds are the most stressed
out people on earth.
Family, education, work, it can all be pretty stressful.

11. 10. Convincing yourself you slept well tricks
your brain into thinking it did.
Thus giving you more energy. They called it “placebo sleep”.

12. 11. Smart people underestimate themselves
and ignorant people think they’re brilliant.
It’s called the Dunning Kruger Effect, it’s real, and just go on Facebook
and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

13. 12. When you remember a past event, you’re
actually remembering the last time you
remembered it.
Alright, that one blew the hell out of my mind. This is why our
memories fade and distort over time.

14. 13. Your decisions are more rational when
thought in another language.
A university of Chicago study showed that Korean citizens who
thought in foreign languages reduced their overall bias. Neat.

15. 14. If you announce your goals, you’re less
likely to succeed.
It’s true. Tests since the 1930’s have pretty well proven it.
