The algorithm for happiness=3:1

Say/think/perform three positive things for every negative one.


Positive emotions tell us not just what the body needs but what we need mentally and emotionally and what our future selves might need. They help us broaden our minds and our outlook and build our resources down the road. I call it the "broaden and build" effect.
from 'Positivity', by Barbara Frederickson


Simple really!
