to Buy Happiness Money can buy happiness, but only if you spend it on someone else, researchers reported on Thursday. Spending as little as $5 a day on someone else could significantly boost happiness, the team at the University of British Columbia and Harvard Business School found. Their experiments on more than 630 Americans showed they were measurably happier when they spent money on others -- even if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them happier. "We wanted to test our theory that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn," said Elizabeth Dunn, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia. 8
Ways to Buy a Little Happiness

Happiness Project Studies show, unsurprisingly, that money’s impact on happiness is greatest when you have the least amount of money. But if you’re one of the lucky people who has enough money to cover the basics – food, shelter, even a car -- does that mean that money can’t make a difference to your happiness? Some happiness experts argue yes, but I think that’s…ridiculous. The secret to using money to buy happiness is to spend money in ways that support your happiness goals. Low
Self-Esteem and Materialism are linked Researchers have found that low self-esteem and materialism are not just a correlation, but also a causal relationship where low self esteem increases materialism, and materialism can also create low self-esteem. They also found that as self esteem increases, materialism decreases. The study primarily focused on how this relationship affects children and adolescents. Lan Nguyen Chaplin (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) and Deborah Roedder John (University of Minnesota) found that even a simple gesture to raise self-esteem dramatically decreased materialism, which provides a way to cope with insecurity. "By the time children reach early adolescence, and experience a decline in self-esteem, the stage is set for the use of material possessions as a coping strategy for feelings of low self-worth," they write in the study, which will appear in the Journal of Consumer Research. Happiness Comes Cheap - Even for Millionaires In a study commissioned by the National Lottery, Dr Richard Tunney of the University's School of Psychology found that it's the simple things in life that impact most positively on our sense of well being. The study compared the 'happiness levels' of lottery jackpot winners with a control group, using a 'Satisfaction with Life Scale' developed by the University of Illinois. Respondents were asked how satisfied they were in relation to different elements of their life, their different mood states explored, how often they treated themselves and what form this took. Surprisingly, it wasn't the flashy cars and diamond jewellery that upped the jackpot winners' happiness quotient. It was the listening to music, reading a book, or enjoying a bottle of wine with a takeaway that really made the difference. 'Hypnotist'

Cashiers Italian police have issued video footage of a man who has been hypnotizing supermarket checkout staff and getting them to hand over the cash. In every case, according to reports, the last thing staff remember is a man leaning over and saying 'Look into my eyes' before suddenly finding the till is empty. Then he walks away with a grin, tucking goods into his pocket. In the latest incident captured on video footage the man walked into a bank in Ancona in northern Italy. He waited until he got to a female bank clerk and, according to the video footage, appears to hypnotise her into handing over more than £600. He then calmly walked out. The cashier who was shown the video footage reportedly has no memory of the incident. She only realised what had happened when she saw the money missing. Italian police are now looking for the suspect - who bears an uncanny resemblance to Saddam Hussein - who they believe is either of Indian or North African. 
The Hypnotic Handshake By Shlomo Vaknin, C.Ht Source: NLP Weekly The Hypnotic Handshake method is based on ‘brief hypnosis’. Brief hypnosis is a less known format of hypnotizing, first initiated by Dr. Milton H. Erickson. Erickson also taught the Hypnotic Handshake method based on the principles of brief hypnosis. Brief hypnosis claims that most people enter trance (the hypnotic state of mind) and exit trance many times during the day. One good example would be driving on the free way, white you’re figuring out what to say to your boss about you being late again (for the 29th time this month). Not being aware completely to the road and to the driving activity, you still make it in one piece to the office. That’s hypnosis. Brief hypnosis starts with a rapid induction to get a person into trance. Rapid induction is based on two key principles... Create Your Own Mind Movies By
Ryan Higgins If you’ve seen the secret, but still haven’t been able to line your pockets with more money and accumulate real wealth… the relationship of your dreams… the spiritual fulfillment that makes you smile so hard your cheeks hurt… the beautiful, slim, stunning body of a movie star… or the health and energy levels of a teenager… stay tuned because once you’ve grasped the importance of what I’m going to reveal in the next few minutes… your life will never be the same again. Here’s what it’s all about: My name is Ryan Higgins and just six months ago I was stuck in a dead end job packing boxes in a factory. I had to get up at 4 a.m. every morning and drive an hour to a job I hated. I felt like a loser. I didn’t have a holiday that whole time. Everything I tried despite working my butt off failed miserably. I earned just enough money to scrape by, and every time I went grocery shopping or paid a bill I had to cross my fingers that my credit card would not be declined. My life was in tatters. I tried to set goals but couldn’t stick to them. I said my affirmations religiously, and worked like a dog all day. Yet despite it all, I was absolutely miserable. God I wanted to change. And my wish was fulfilled, because by a chance meeting with a friend, I was exposed to a quote by Napoleon Hill, the author of Think and Grow Rich: “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve” and a light bulb went off inside my head.” The following day while I was flipping through one of my books I read about a study where 75 basketball camp kids were divided into three groups of 25. One group spent the three weeks practicing shots for one hour a day, one group spent the three weeks doing absolutely nothing related to basketball and the last group did visualization exercises for one hour per day only. After the three weeks, the group that practiced daily improved their shots by 10%, the group that did nothing, did not improve at all and the group that did visualization improved by almost 50%. Are you starting to get the picture here? After over 7 years of searching it had finally dawned on me that information, positive thinking and hard work is NOT enough! That’s why I was hitting roadblocks even though I’d watched the secret… read dozens of books… gone to seminar after seminar… and spent hours listening to tapes and CD’s. What
I really needed
was a way to
visualize that
was both real
and fun. Something
I’d look
forward to every
single day.
It was then
that I created
my own mind
movie.
