Happiness and other good stuff
I highly recommend DailyGood, a portal that shares inspiring
quotes and news stories that focus on the "good" we can find
in our world daily along with a simple action to continue that goodness.
It links to other great material. Worth reading every morning.
www.dailygood.org
The Greater Good Science Center (out of University of California, Berkeley) has a terrific site GreaterGood: The Science of a Meaningful Life. Like DailyGood, it links to interesting and heartening research and other stuff.
