Happiness = meaning + moderate challenge
Happiness lives in the left prefrontal cortex of the human brain (just above your left eye). If you wave to this part of your brain you might make yourself smile!
And while a warm blanket is, arguably, a wonderful thing to have on a chilly day, it’s not going to bring you happiness for very long if you are bored to tears under that blanket (and those tears of boredom will get your warm blanket all wet pretty quickly!). So, while you are snuggling under your toasty blanket, find something a little bit difficult to do and do it with enough creativity that someone else finds it useful, and your prefrontal cortex will thank you.
