The up and coming field of "positive psychology"

In doing some research for today's post I came across a new sub field of psychology that studies healthy, happy people, rather than patients struggling with various issues, ailments. The Positive Psychology Center at UPenn explains by saying:

"Psychology’s concern with remedying human problems is understandable and should certainly not be abandoned. Human suffering demands scientifically informed solutions. Suffering and well being, however, are both part of the human condition, and psychologists should be concerned with both." http://www.ppc.sas.upenn.edu/index.html

Thanks to positive psychologists we know the following:

• The things we think will make us happy often don’t
• Money does not make us happy
• Having more money than our neighbors might
• And having less than the neighbors is guaranteed to interfere, big-time
• Friends and family do make us happy
• Moving away from them for a great new job doesn’t
• Senior citizens are happier than the young
• Pretty people aren’t happier than anyone else, they just look better when they are unhappy
• Having lots of choices doesn’t make us happy; it seriously stresses us out
• Commuting is an immense drag on gross national happiness

Bottom line is stay close to your friends and family, understand that wealth means very little in the big scheme of things, avoid living far from you work and try to become more decisive.

What do you guys think?
