One “must” for this week

"Personality and life satisfaction" shared by Steven Bartlett here.

A study on personality and life satisfaction reveals that having fun is the most important trait linked to high life satisfaction.

Other traits include being active, having self-control, remaining calm under pressure, and trusting others. On the other hand, traits linked to low life satisfaction include feeling misunderstood, lacking excitement, and fear of being alone.

I can’t agree more that prioritizing fun can lead to a happier life.
