He who laughs, lasts
According to Secular Blasphemy, humor improves survival A study claims to confirm the old Norwegian saying that a good laugh leads to a longer life.
Perhaps that's why
Claremont Graduate University is offering an unusual doctoral program focusing on what makes people happy."Most research on human behavior has focused on what goes wrong in human affairs: aggression, mental disease, failure and so on," said Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (pronounced chick-sent-me-high-ee), head of university's Quality of Life Research Center.
"We don't know enough about what makes life worth living, what gives people hope and energy and enjoyment," he said.
So I guess, laugh a little, get a PhD. Laugh longer, live longer.
