Happiness depends on what you pay attention to, according to Rick Hanson, Ph.D., author of Hardwiring Happiness. If you’re not happy, you’re focussing on the wrong stuff. You’re focussing on what’s wrong, rather than what’s right. Its the same as trying to achieve something new. If you focus on what’s stopping you, rather than what you need to do to get there, you’ll never get there.

In the spirit of focussing on what’s right, there is a website called futurecrun.ch/goodnews that webscrapes the good news from around the world. Here is the latest from the last three weeks.
