Secret To Happiness: Don't Think
Better busy than doing nothing, scientist proves
The secret to happiness is keeping busy, research has found
"Keeping the mind occupied with tasks - no matter how meaningless - staves off negative emotions, the study found.
However, the bad news is that humans seem hard-wired to be lazy in order to save energy, according to Professor Christopher Hsee, a behavioural scientist at Chicago University."
"Governments may increase the happiness of idle citizens by having them build bridges that are actually useless", he proposed.
At the individidual level, he advised: "Get up and do something. Anything. Even if there really is no point to what you are doing, you will feel better for it."
More junk 'science'. Not only do they promote useless activity but they manage to insult people who don't engage in frivolous behavior.

No doubt they are pushing this idea for the sake of all the extra unemployed, to keep them from joining left and right-wing anti-government orgs. They may even want to get them used to the idea of working for nothing.
I've got a better idea. Get a computer and work with any old idea you can think of to develop it into something with real substance. Better than building useless bridges.
Before I got a computer, my life was much more boring than it is now. Of course, if I was a wealthy man, I could think of lots of things to do.
Hmm... they don't want people to think long enough to realize that one: That the more wealth one has the more freedom they have also.
Our masters really don't want a society of healthy, happy individuals feeling free to do what they want in life. That's hell on earth for control psychos.
What they want is a fearful, drugged nation of unquestioning work slaves, always slightly sick and preoccupied with mindless entertainment and frantic behavior.
