Have a look at the newest issue of Time. The title is Happiness. While the magazine devotes approximately 50 pages to the topic of happiness examined from all possible angles (scientific, religious, social, so on), something caught my eye as to be worthy to go into the tips section here.
Basically, try keeping a what's called a 'gratitude journal', where every week you write down everything you are grateful to have, like health, posessions, friends, body, above-average IQ, a nice school, good parents, high-end computer, whatever
. Or write about positive things that happened to you over the time of the week.
Studies show that subjects who actively wrote in such a diary became quite happier than the control group. The time period was 8 weeks I think.
Anyways, gotta try it.
