I follow various happiness blogs now. Important things I learnt: (1) Flow activities are important: like writing a blog. The end is unimportant, only the process matters. So also, climbing scary mountains will qualify, matter of life and death activitities too (bungee jumping?, sky diving) (2) Heard the story about the wise guy...a man came to him asking for help in being happier. He told him to buy some goats and keep them inside his house for a week and then come back. So thats what the man did. He came back in a week totally sick of the smell of the goats and their little pebble shaped turds all over the house...and complained about this to the wise guy (WG). Well WG says" Now get rid of the goats. You will be happy!" .(3) Connections to others: close emotional bonds, good friends.
Also funny: from facebook: one of my friends posted this: a cure for very happy people:

Very incisive findings! So, does it follow that you're a happier person now? What about sending your goats to me for a week?
