Here Is A Simple Way To Be Happy

For some people this might be harder than it sounds. For others, it will be a piece of cake. But, if you truly want to be happier and less stressed you need to do this one thing.

If you want to be happier, cancel your Facebook account. That's the conclusion from a Danish think tank that insists quitting Facebook will not only make you happier, but also less angry, less sad and less worried.

Facebook is, in many ways, a study of the haves vs. the have-nots. When a Facebook friend buys an expensive new car and lords it over everyone with lots of photos, it makes you feel even worse about that old heap in your driveway -- especially because you know you'll never be able to afford the car your friend just purchased.

The Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, Denmark, found that after only seven days away from Facebook, those users reported feeling happier, less sad, less worried, less angry and less depressed. They also said they enjoyed life more. In addition, they were more likely to feel present in the moment and said they were better able to concentrate.

Meanwhile, the Facebook users who did not take a break were 55 percent more likely to feel stressed than those who stopped it. They were also 39 percent more likely to feel less happy than non-users.

What do you think? Is it time to give up Facebook?
