The psychology Of Happiness.

Executive coach and happiness expert Stella Grizont explains exactly how happiness works, why it matters, and the steps a person can take to find it. Grizont was one of the first graduate students in the world to receive a Masters in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania.

From speaking to consulting to coaching, Grizont designs immersive learning experiences for organizations like Google, Johnson & Johnson, and Columbia University. She has also coached more than 1,300 high performers in 17 countries, with a focus on working with executives to achieve greater impact, meaning, and satisfaction at work.

Don't Worry , Be Happy.

Positive psychology coach and speaker Stella Grizont discussed:

• The difference between positive psychology and traditional psychology.

• How and why she developed The Work Happiness Method™, and how it differs from the approaches of other life coaches.

• Why the U.S. rarely appears on lists of the world's happiest nations, and how Americans can adjust their priorities to become happier people.

• PERMA, the five pillars that contribute to a sense of aliveness and flourishing, according to the theory of well being in applied positive psychology.

• How the human body responds physiologically to feelings like loneliness and love.

• The psychological effects of complaining, and how to do it properly.

• Questions you can ask yourself in order to identify the specific causes for the problems in your life, and how you can adjust your everyday habits to resolve them.

• The evolutionary fear of awkward moments and the importance of play. Hey guys i  Am making a series on happiness science so this is the first article and the others  are coming soon. Love you... If you want us to make article on other interesting topics of science then comment

Albert Enstein's Theory of Happiness is a Simple Handwritten Note on How to Live a Happy Life

Here it is: your chance to read work by Albert Einstein that won't turn your brain into a black hole. This isn't his Theory of Relativity; this is his Theory of Happiness. Not only is it actually easy to understand, you can even apply his advice to your own life. Einstein is the gift that keeps on giving, isn't he?

Shut Up And Take My Money.

Albert Einstein made news in 2017 not for anything about gravitational waves or time dilation, but for how to be happy. On October 24, 2017, a simple handwritten note penned by Albert Einstein fetched $1.56 million at auction in Jerusalem. On the hotel notepad is Einstein's Theory of Happiness, which is less a fleshed-out scientific paper and more an inspirational tidbit.

The note reads "A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness." The letter was originally estimated to sell for between $5,000 and $8,000, according to the Winner's Auctions and Exhibitions, but the bidding quickly escalated into six figures. Another note, which reads "When there's a will, there's a way," sold for $240,000 after it was initially predicted to sell for no more than $6,000.

A Generous Tip.

The notes that were purchased (the buyers and sellers were anonymous) are autographed pieces from a Tokyo hotel notepad. Behind the succinct writings, however, is a story. In 1922, Einstein traveled to the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo while on a lecture tour. He had recently discovered that he had won the Nobel Prize. A bellboy came to deliver a message to the physicist, but Einstein either had no change to tip him, had only big bills, or the bellboy refused to accept a tip, in line with local practice.

To avoid letting the kid go empty-handed for whichever reason and capitalizing on his soon-to-be growing fame, Einstein scrawled two messages on Imperial letterhead and handed them over. "If you are lucky, the notes themselves will someday be worth more than some spare change," Einstein said, according to the seller of the letters. The seller lives in Hamburg, Germany and was said to be the grandson of the mysterious hotel messenger's brother. As usual, Einstein's prediction was right on the money.

How To Chose The Best Charity For Your Donation

The moment Thanksgiving is over in the U.S., the spending season begins: first there's Black Friday, then Cyber Monday. In 2012, Giving Tuesday arose as a way to celebrate altruism amid all the seasonal consumerism. But while most people probably check multiple buying guides and online reviews before choosing the products they order on Black Friday, few of us ever research the causes that get our donations. That's a mistake, because the charity you choose can make a massive difference in the impact your donation dollars have.

Eeny,Meeny,Miney,Mo

One of the most important choices you can make in your donation decision is which cause to support. Most people tend to go with a cause that's dear to their heart: maybe a relative has a certain disease, or you have personal experience with an important issue. The problem with choosing a charity this way is that if a cause immediately comes to your mind, it probably comes to the minds of a lot of people. That means that you're likely to choose a cause with a lot of support when you could have made your dollars go further with an issue that's less well known.

But there's another issue with choosing a charity this way. The fact is, a lot of charity programs don't work. Their heart is in the right place, but the numbers aren't: a 2015 literature survey found that of 90 educational interventions tested, 90 percent had "weak or no positive effects"; of employment-boosting programs, that figure was 75 percent.

So what's a good-hearted giver to do? A little extra research can ensure you get the biggest bang for your charity buck.

Put Your Money Where Your Mouse Is.

The nonprofit 80,000 Hours publishes a career guide for college graduates who want to make an impact on the world but don't know where to start. In it, they lay out the criteria they use to assess which issues are most urgent. According to them, the most pressing problems will have a good combination of the following characteristics:

• Scale: How big is the problem? How many lives does it affect? If we solved it today, how much would that benefit the world?
• Solvability: How easy is it to solve the problem? Do solutions already exist, and if so, how strong is the evidence behind them?
• Neglectedness: How many resources are already devoted to this problem? How many people know about it? Are there good reasons why it hasn't been solved yet?

Once you've chosen a cause, it's important to find out which solutions are best to put your dollar behind. Toby Ord, founder of Giving What We Can, uses the HIV/AIDS epidemic as an example.

Say you were considering supporting four interventions to fight AIDS: surgical treatment for an AIDS-related illness, antiretroviral therapy to fight the virus in people who are infected, prevention of transmission during pregnancy, condom distribution to prevent transmission on the whole, and education for the groups at highest risk of infection. Which one do you choose?

Without any research, you might think they're all just as cost effective. But in fact, the best of these is a whopping 1,400 times more cost-effective than the least: surgery barely registers on the chart, while education towers over the other methods. The more cost-effective the intervention, the more power your dollar has.

And don't discount putting money straight into the hands of the people who need it. Scientific evidence shows that when you give poor people money with no strings attached, they don't waste it. The charity GiveDirectly performed a randomized controlled trial in Kenya where they gave people different amounts of money and watched how they spent it. Overwhelmingly, the people spent the money on food and durable goods, often investing in livestock and building materials that helped secure their futures.

Once you've chosen a pressing issue with a cost-effective, evidence-based intervention, it's time to choose your charity. Sites like GuideStar, CharityNavigator, and CharityWatch are useful for rating charities themselves. They assess things like accountability, transparency, and financial health to make sure your donations are being used effectively and honestly. You can search the sites for the issues that you've chosen, and they'll show you the charities that can best put your donations to work to tackle the problem. After that, all that's left is to bask in the warm glow of charitable giving. That is for today guys meet you in a new science topic . If you like us then subscribe to get daily science article.

The Harder You Try Not To "Catch" A Yawn , the more Likely It Is You Will

Scientists aren't quite sure why we yawn, and even less certain of why it's so contagious. It's just an inexplicable compulsive behavior, like how some people feel the need to say, "I don't even own a TV," at the slightest provocation. But a new experiment has found that it's possible to alter the contagiousness of a yawn, and understanding how and why might be the key to addressing the symptoms of Tourette syndrome.

Don't Think Of a Pink Elephant Yawning

As it turns out, contagious yawns work a lot like the old instruction to "not think of a pink elephant." The more you try to follow the order, the harder you fail. In this study carried out by Stephen Jackson, professor of cognitive neuroscience at the University of Nottingham, participants were shown a series of videos of people yawning. Some of the subjects were told they should yawn when they felt compelled to, and the others were instructed not to yawn even if they felt the need

Well, the pink elephants won the day. When the researchers reviewed their data at the end of the study, they found that the people who were told not to yawn actually yawned the hardest. When it came down to actual yawns, stifled yawns, and perceived desire to yawn, the people who had been forbidden to do it came in at the top.

The study uncovered one other interesting tidbit. Not only was telling someone not to yawn a sure-fire way to get them to do it, but the actual intensity and frequency of those yawns turned out to be fairly predictable through transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a method for stimulating nerves with magnetic fields. TMS was used to quantify physiological inhibition and motor cortical excitability — that is, activity in the part of the brain responsible for movement — and turned out to be a pretty accurate predictor of exactly how badly an individual would be affected by an avalanche of yawns.

Stopping Contagious Behavior.

So it's not such a big deal that yawning is contagious. But according to another one of the study's architects, professor of cognitive neuropsychology Georgina Jackson, what they learned about the contagiousness of yawns could have widespread effects on other contagious activities, especially among people with conditions such as Tourettes, dementia, epilepsy, and autism.

"This research has shown that the 'urge' is increased by trying to stop yourself," she said. "Using electrical stimulation we were able to increase excitability and in doing so increase the propensity for contagious yawning. In Tourette's if we could reduce the excitability we might reduce the ticks and that's what we are working on."

You read that right — for now, the scientists have only been successful in increasing the yawning contagiousness. But that is just one step toward a better understanding of why these kinds of behaviors spread in the first place. Now, show this article to someone else, and tell them not to yawn while they're reading it.
