1.If two people live together for a long time, they start to look like each other. They grow to look alike partly because of nutrition – shared diets and eating habits – but much of the effect is simple imitation of facial expressions. Couples who end up looking alike also tend to be happier!

2.Roughly speaking, losing something makes you twice as miserable as gaining the same thing makes you happy.

3.Obesity is contagious; you’re more likely to be overweight if you have a lot of overweight friends.

4.If we watch how people’s brains respond, promising them monetary rewards and giving them cocaine, nicotine or amphetamines looks disturbingly similar.

5.Those who sit upright are much happier than those who slouch.

6.Research suggests that telling children that they are bright and talented is a terrible thing to do. Telling children that they possess a certain trait, such as being bright or talented, is not good for their psychological health because it encourages them to avoid challenging situations, no to try so hard, and quickly to be become demotivated when the going gets tough. In contrast, praising effort encourages people to stretch themselves, work hard, and persist in the face of difficulties.

7.People who help others tend to be significantly happier and are less likely to get depression when they are older
