Writing Happiness

A recent article, Writing Your Way to Happiness, from the New York Times claims just that: “researchers are studying whether the power of writing – and then rewriting – your personal story can lead to behavioral changes and improve happiness.”

According to a study at Duke, college students who shared their personal stories “improved their grade-point average and were less likely to drop out over the next year.” In another study, students who took part in sharing their personal stories “received better grades in the ensuing months.”

So what do you think? Would you consider writing your story?
