A SIMPLE STRATEGY FOR BEING HAPPIER

Choosing carefully the people we hang out with, good company, is the best solution for long-term happiness according to this neuroscientist. Neuroscience research shows that when people are in each other's company, their brains (and breaths, according to yoga) align.

So - surround yourself with people who embody the traits you prefer. This can make a huge impact on increasing your level of happiness.

Now that I think of it, I tend to instinctively engage more with people who are optimistic and creative. There are others too - like being unapologetically authentic, honest, compassionate, emphatic, graceful.

This begs the question - what traits do YOU look for in people? What sort of people form your current community? What about your IDEAL tribe?
