We could all use help in advising our patients on happiness. Every situation is so different and often so difficult, but what I have found helpful is to recommend 2 things to patients:
Exercise or engage in an activity for at least 30 minutes per day.
Find some way to help someone else—maybe a friend, a neighbour, or a pet—every day.
