New Study Reveals The Secret To Being Happy

Who doesn't want to be happy? I think we all want true happiness, and we all have our own way of getting there. A new study reveals the 'secret' to being happy.

I have to admit that I am not sure I totally agree with this study. If you want to be happy, just grow old. The happiest Americans are also the oldest Americans, according to a recent study of 28,000 people ages 18 to 88 by the University of Chicago.

Older adults are also more socially active, which makes sense since being social not only makes us happy, but also can banish the blues. In fact, the odds of being happy increase 5% with every decade you age. The bad news? Baby boomers are miserable. Of all the age groups surveyed, they are the least happy.

I don't totally agree with this study. Getting old to me means that things start to break and lifelong friends pass on.

What do you think?
