Want to be happy? Lose the remote

According to a professor of sociology at the University of Maryland, happy people spend more time socializing, going to church and reading newspapers.

The study looked at eight to ten activities that happy people do.

TV was the one activity that showed unhappy people did more than happy people.

Researchers said they don't know if unhappy people watch more TV or watching TV makes people unhappy.
