In today's "stuff we already knew, but scientists felt compelled to research," happy people talk a lot and unhappy people have fewer "meaningful" conversations. The contented talk 70 percent more than the Eeyores among us, and about more substantial stuff. Who would have guessed that talking to people about things you care about could make you happy, as opposed to being alone most of the time and only ever talking about the weather? Thanks for the tip, science! (Yahoo!)
