A simple way to feel happier, according to the new science of emotion
honestly I&#x27;m getting very weary of this trend of people being into their emotions or making their emotional life the center-stage of their being. It seems like a very narcissistic hedonism.<p>I&#x27;ve always felt that there&#x27;s a simple answer to being &#x27;unhappy&#x27;. Just do something that helps others, take some responsibility in the real world, even if it&#x27;s small but at least you&#x27;re doing something real, and worst case you&#x27;re still miserable but at least you&#x27;ve done something meaningful.<p>I&#x27;ve started to appreciate the religious outlook more that has a mature attitude to suffering rather than this honestly pretty childish avoidance of negative emotions.
