(NaturalNews) For the last several months, I've been collaborating with renowned author, entrepreneur and content creator Craig Pepin-Donat on a unique, high-density content program that's just been announced this week. It's called The People's Guide to Health, Happiness and Longevity , and it features twelve audio CDs of edited interviews with featured health and fitness experts, twelve more bonus reports, videos and content items, an ebook and a hardcover copy of The Big Fat Health and Fitness Lie . Together, it's an extremely content-rich collection of some of the best information that's yet been offered to the public on health, fitness and life enhancement. In this article, I review this content course and share why I think this is the top collection of immediately useful health information available today, featuring an impressive lineup of health gurus and experienced teachers.

Money buys happiness when you spend on others: research
Researchers at the University of British Columbia and the Harvard Business School have found that it’s possible to buy happiness after all: when you spend money on others. In a series of studies, UBC Asst. Prof. Elizabeth Dunn found that individuals report significantly greater happiness if they spend money “pro-socially” – that is on gifts for others or charitable donations – rather than spending on themselves. Her findings will appear in the March 21 edition of the journal Science . “We wanted to test our theory that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn,” says Dunn, who teaches in the UBC Dept. of Psychology and is lead author of the study.
It's a question that we all ask ourselves at one time or another: how can I be happy ? What can you do when depression rears its ugly head, to fight the winter blues, or to simply enjoy more out of life? Scientists have identified a list of ten things every person can do to promote happiness in their lives; actions that have been proven to brighten your outlook and make you happier. In the last few years, psychologists and researchers have been digging up hard data on a question previously left to philosophers: What makes us happy? Researchers like the father-son team Ed Diener and Robert Biswas-Diener, Stanford psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky, and ethicist Stephen Post have studied people all over the world to find out how things like money, attitude, culture, memory, health, altruism, and our day-to-day habits affect our well-being. The list, compiled by Yes!
