2. Choosing the right friends is the key to happiness The best way to boost your happiness is to be very picky about who you spend time with, according to a neuroscientist. Professor Moran Cerf from Northwestern University says we stop wasting our energy making small decisions such as what we want to do or wear, and instead focus on the only decision that counts. Choosing the right friends is important because it causes our brainwaves to resemble those of the people we spend most time with… According to Dr Cerf the best way to achieve long-term satisfaction is to surround yourself with the right people, writes Business Insider. “The more we study engagement, we see time and again that just being next to certain people actually aligns your brain with them,” he said. “This means the people you hang out with actually have an impact on your engagement with reality beyond what you can explain. And one of the effects is you become alike.”

3. Why getting even may make you feel worse in the long runwww.washingtonpost.com A colleague steals your idea and then undermines you in front of the boss. It’s human nature to want revenge. But will getting even make you feel better in the long run? People are motivated to seek revenge — to harm someone who has harmed them — when they feel attacked, mistreated or socially rejected. Getting an eye for an eye, Old Testament-style, is thought to bring a sense of catharsis and closure. While most of us won’t engage in the type of vengeful displays that grab headlines or warrant prison time, our everyday lives often include small acts of retaliation such as gossiping about a neighbor who snubbed you, lashing out on Yelp after poor customer service or engaging in the endless Twitter tit for tat typified by certain elected officials. Evolutionary psychologists believe we are hard-wired for revenge… Seeking revenge can backfire — but not for the reasons you may think. University of Virginia psychology professor Timothy Wilson and colleagues conducted a study in 2008 on the “paradoxical consequences” of revenge… Researchers staged the game so that players were double-crossed and some were given the chance to retaliate. When asked by researchers how they imagined they would feel after seeking revenge, the players predicted it would make them feel better. But when surveyed afterward, those who had retaliated reported feeling worse than players who didn’t get the opportunity to punish and so had “moved on.”
