Out of the ten steps to be taken to improve happiness , I like to discuss some aspects of them here;
Daily Dose of FRIENDS: " A strong social network is foundational " says Jim Harter , a chief scientist at Gallup and coauthor of Wellbieng : The Five Essential Elements. Happy people PURPOSEFULLY plan for social times and get enough time of interaction with friends and/or family. Another research by Harvard's University's Nicholas Christakis, shows that if you proactively choose the right social network, bliss can be contagious.With each happy friend we add to our social circle, our own happiness grows by 9 percent. For each unhappy friend, our happiness declines by 7 percent. So find people you like, and commit to routines that put you in contact with them regularly. If you do not have healthy, trustworthy friends, expand your social networks- you will get a big happiness boost.
Social connectedness is a more direct pathway to well-being. Therefore, it is necessary to develop the social skills right from the childhood.
I very strongly believe in a good social network. From my experience right from childhood till now, I enjoy the benefit of social networking and feel very happy. Now, it adds to my happiness by finding old and long-time forgotten friends all over.

Happiness is not just about feeling good or having positive emotions.It is also an ability to deal with difficulties in life, to feel involved in your community, to recognize your own strengths, and to perceive the life you are living as that is meaningful.
