Is this paid content from big pharma? Concrete jungles and the typical 9to5 make us happier than nature could ever do.
Perhaps some things simply cannot be captured by scientific methods and numbers.
- karmakaze 3y ago> Hundreds of studies claim that mindfulness, walking in nature and expressing gratitude make us happier. But a new review found that most of the research papers looking into these strategies are based on small, poorly designed trials, which could make their conclusions unreliable. > This doesn’t mean these interventions don’t work, but we need much more solid scientific research to prove that they do, says Elizabeth Dunn at the University of British Columbia, Canada. Uh no, I don't. If taking a nature walk makes me feel better, I'll do it without waiting for proof provided by others. There's also a difference between being happy and feeling good. Being happy is like being excited or laughing or enjoying something really tasty. Feeling good is like the way you feel right after a good yawn. It's not exciting, but it does feel like the absence of 'not good'.
