Ok ladies, quit gossiping abut what the new girl is wearing in the office! According to psychologists from the University of Arizona, a person’s well-being is directly related to indulging less in meaningless small talk…”what is she wearing?” and more in deep and meaningful conversations…”have you read the latest amazing article on Fit Girl?”
Co-author Matthias Mehl says, “Profound conversations have the potential to make people happier. The findings suggest that a happy life is social and conversationally deep rather than solitary and superficial.”
The study found that, “the happiest participants had twice as many deep and meaningful conversations and engaged in one third as much small talk as the unhappiest participants”. That’s it, be gone with any meaningless chat that may pass my lips-es!! I’d rather swap short-term smart-arse commentary for long-term happiness!!
The study also found the the happiest participants spent 25% less time alone and 70% more time talking than the unhappiest. Super, that means one should ensure one is a social butterfly who talks endlessly to ones admirers…ahem about deep and meaningful stuff…obviously!!
