In 1922, Albert Einstein was staying in a hotel in Tokyo. Without any money to tip a hotel deliveryman, he instead gave him a couple of notes on hotel stationery about happiness and success. While the man was probably unable to read the advice, he recognized their value and held on to them. In October of this year, the deliveryman’s nephew sold the notes for 1.3 million dollars.
Walk Your Way To Health And Happiness
Einstein once said, “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” Philosophers and scientists from Aristotle to Einstein have known throughout history that walking in nature can boost creativity.

Time flies, and sometimes we feel like we never have enough. According to some research, the answer to this problem might lie in finding more awe in our lives. Awe is something that fills you with wonder. It’s a jaw-dropping experience that takes your breath away.

It could even be an idea that is so vast or complex that it doesn’t fit into our normal understanding of the world.

Happiness or Misery? It’s Your Choice
They say the paradox of happiness is: the more you chase it, the more elusive it becomes. You’d think it’d be a cakewalk, but so many of us suffer from depression and dissatisfaction.

The Mind-Face Connection – Can Poison Make Us Happier?
‘Beauty is only skin deep’ is an English idiom dating back to the 1600s that means beauty is superficial and does not reflect one’s essential character. In other words, what’s on the inside is more important than what’s on the outside.
