A feel-good life is not necessarily a healthy one
We all want to be happy, but if you want to be healthy, you should rather search for meaning, says a study led by Barbara Fredrickson.
They have studied the genes of people who are engaging in a lot of activities which makes them feeling good, but lack true meaning (like going out extensively) and the results were shocking:
they had the same gene expression patterns as people exposed to chronic adversity.
The group suggests
stop running after momentary joys and start looking for activities with meaning.
