It seems that science is confirming. Lots of little conversations about other people’s small annoyances in life – or you sharing every detail of your daily annoyances in life – make you less happy. Now from the things I hear people tell me about their level of happiness, few – very few – can afford to be LESS happy!
A study reported in both the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal conducted by a University of Arizona psychologist, Matthias Mehl, confirms engaging in deeper, substantive conversations makes you happier than spending your day engaged in the mindless chatter about the mundane happenings in your life and the life of those around you.
That then begged the question, does reading blogs and responses to blog posts constitute small talk or substantive ‘conversations’?
How are you investing the moment-by-moment times of your life? Happy?
