*The pursuit of happiness can actually backfire, say experts at the Universitiy of Denver. People who place a high value on happness have, on average, 17 more symptoms of depression than those who don't.
*A week of vacation is nice, but the eleation you get from it is mostly in the anticipation, say Dutch researchers. They found that planning a vacation can improve your mood for up to two months before the actual trip. Unfortunately, the moment you get home, you're no more or less content than someone who hadn't gone away.
*According to research, happiness is about 50 percent genetic, 10 percent influenced by life circumstances, and 40 percent influenced by how you think and act every day.
