Want happiness? Kill the boob tube

Research says time watching the idiot box is the single biggest difference between those who report themselves as happy vs. unhappy.

That said, the study doesn’t demonstrate which way the causal correlation goes. So, it may be that people bring their unhappiness to the boob tube seeking drug-like relief, rather than TV-watching weighing them down.

However, people were on average happier doing more, rther than less, of any of the other activities on the list.
