Dare to Act Differently and Be Happier is a good article from The Atlantic (it’s behind a paywall, but there are other ways to access it). It describes four ways to be… happier based on research, and encourages readers to experiment by doing one each for a week and see how they feel after a month:

1. Gratitude: Think about someone who you are grateful for, and write them a note.
2. Social interaction: Initiate a brief conversation with a stranger.
3. Mindfulness: Sit quietly for a few minutes and listen/notice your surroundings.
4. Nature: Visit a nearby nature area.

I’m adding this info to The Best Sites To Learn About…Happiness?

Our Favorite Management Tips on Dealing with Conflict is from The Harvard Business Review. I’m adding it to Best Posts On Classroom Management.
