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.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
