Are marshmallows the key to happiness? They might be—but not in the way that you think.

Don’t Wait to Be Happy
I occasionally reflect on certain periods of my life nostalgically as the “good ol’ days.” Of course, I didn’t recognize them as the good ol’ days while they were happening.

Why Living a Life of Gratitude Can Make You Happy

The Ultimate Source of Happiness: Our Minds
Imagine a person who has “everything”: a loving family, good friends, health, wealth, power, or even fame. Yet this person lacks one thing: inner peace.
