“Boost your happiness by taking part in this experiment”

I got this info from an article in Science Daily”

Some info from the website:

What is the experiment all about?

This mass participation project will involve a huge number of people spending just one minute each day carrying out a happiness boosting exercise. Because emotions are contagious their increased happiness should pass to those around them, eventually cheering up the world!
The ambitious study will take place between Monday 3rd - Friday 7th August 2009, and is being conducted by psychologist Prof Richard Wiseman, author of 59 Seconds: Think a Little, Change a Lot.
We need as many people as possible to take part, so please join in and feel free to invite your friends, family and colleagues.
