Happiness Post

After reading Franklin's "The Way to Wealth" and Jefferson's "The Declaration of Independence," I'd like you to look at this post, "10 Easy Things That Will Make You Happier, Backed By Science." Next, I'd like you to ruminate in the comments section about whether or not you think contemporary mainstream American culture helps or hinders individuals in their pursuit of happiness. Why or why not? Give some examples to your personal life. Explain whether or not you think the happiness the scientists are talking about is the same or different than the happiness that Franklin and Jefferson describe. Your post should be 6-10 sentences long and should agree or disagree with an earlier post from one of your peers.
