Friends, Family and Faith

What makes for a happy and fulfilled life?

Studies confirm it. In analyzing 30 years worth of data collected from a United States national social-survey database as well as other previous studies, researchers found that people who considered themselves unhappy tended to watch significantly more TV than those who said they were very happy.

'Higher-spirited folks' as the report calls them, spent more time on other types of hobbies, including mingling with friends and family members, reading newspapers, and attending 'religious services'.

So, a loose translation: plenty of friends, not too much tv, a good family and a strong faith leads to a fulfilled life.
