Discussion: How to be happy

Happiness is pretty great, and fortunately there's scientific research on the subject. Less Wrong user Luke Muehlhauser read a lot of this research and summarised it in How to Be Happy (http://lesswrong.com/lw/4su/how_to_be_happy/).

Come make some tea and discuss the article. We'll raise questions like:

• What's important for happiness? What isn't? (Spoiler: money isn't, once you're over the poverty line.)

• Do any of Luke's conclusions seem wrong? Do any seem surprising?

• Have you ever done any of the things Luke recommends for becoming happier – such as becoming more extroverted, or switching to more fulfilling work? What effect did it have on your happiness?
