From the Department of Duh: Music Can Make You Happier
Okay, so maybe this study is a little more subtle in its argument. It does, however, reinforce what I think that most of us already know: that a little positive music can help you feel better. From the Pacific Standard:
“Listening to positive music may be an effective way to improve happiness, particularly when it is combined with an intention to become happier,” write psychologists Yuna Ferguson and Kennon Sheldon. Their study suggests neither a determination to be happy nor uplifting music are sufficient alone: It’s the combination that seems to do the trick.
