Breaking: Cheery People Spread Sunshine*

So a few days ago, TIME published both "Is Our Happiness Preordained?" as well as "Laugh and the World Laughs Too: Happiness is Contagious"

The stories (as perhaps indicated by their titles) are about two studies, one finding that happiness levels are genetic and the second finding that happiness is contagious. 

And really, I think the subject could have been served better with one story with two main points....

If you have the happy gene (you probably know by now) you're all set.  If not, just move or get happy friends. 

Also, I am pretty sure I could have broken that news to the researchers much more quickly as well as economically.

*Also, water is wet.
