Wanna Be Happier?

Find God and Milton Freidman.

Freaknomics four part series examining happiness. It turns out the follow are true:

1. Conservatives are more happy than Liberals
2. Religious people are more happy than non-religious people
3. Rich people are happier than poor people.
4. Extremists are more happy than moderates.

So...being a rich, right wing religious extremist is probably your best bet for achieving happiness and well being. I imagine this doesn't hold up, however, should you choose to blow up the nearest Federal Building and go to jail.
