【英文原文】
Is mental focus a key to success? Maybe so. But a new study suggests that it might also be a key to happiness.

If only we could get our minds to stop wandering.

A human mind is a wandering mind, and a wandering mind is an unhappy mind. Just what sorts of places does the mind wander? Reminiscing (and ruing) past events, looking forward to (or fearing) things that might happen in the future.

Not surprisingly, people were happiest when making love. But they also enjoyed exercising and engaging in conversation.They were least happy when working, resting, or using a home computer.
