On one hand, this article seems fine as far as it goes. Sure, I can imagine there's some benefit to cultivating a positive emotion for 5 minutes per day.

It's just debasing the word "science" to make their ideas seem more respectable. But this isn't new. Marx called his thinking "scientific socialism" back in 1845, as if socialism - or any political theory - would ever actually be scientific in any real sense.
