About This Quote

The notion that you should “follow the evidence to where it leads, even if the conclusion is uncomfortable” can be quite offensive. If a person has major depression, more aggressive treatment is required before that person can feel motivated to get busy. However, there is also some truth to the idea that more mental activity and more active tasks can be a part of effective therapy. One study from the University of Chicago and Shanghai Jiaotong University found that busier subjects reported greater levels of happiness than subjects who were instructed to remain idle for an extended period.
