As we head into the heart of the holiday season, I read an article from England about a study that should make us want to keep smiling and be resilient: In part….
Seeing a child’s smile creates as much pleasure as 2,000 chocolate bars—or $25,000 in cash. That was the finding of a British study by Hewlett Packard, using an electromagnetic brain scan machine and heart rate monitor to measure “the mood-boosting value” of various stimuli.
The study found seeing a loved one’s smile was worth 600 chocolate treats or about $13,000. The lesson: Show some teeth and you’ll be much happier.:)
