Positive Psychology aka Happiness

Read the book, "Happier" and you will be:-) Wherever you are in life, the author believes you could be "happier". He is a researcher at Harvard, who in the course of his research found an alarming statistic regarding how many Americans were on anti-depressants. He thought, "Why aren't we happier?" This led him to more research and finally to his best selling book. One of his questions that particularly resonated with me was around rituals in your life. His research proves that rituals add to your happiness quotient. I did some self exploration in regard to that and found that the ones I did have certainly did contribute to my overall happiness. What are the rituals in your life?
