Three Good Things - A Happiness Journal
Three Good Things is a happiness journal designed to increase happiness and positivity by encouraging users to write down three good things that happen to them every day. Developed by Ishaan Sehgal, this iPhone app offers a simple user interface and gamification to enhance engagement.
In today's world, where negativity often takes center stage, Three Good Things aims to shift the focus towards the positive aspects of life. By recording daily positive experiences, users can rewire their brains to notice and appreciate the good things instead of dwelling on the negative.
The concept behind Three Good Things is rooted in the research of Harvard Professor Shawn Achor, as explained in his book The Happiness Advantage. This exercise has lasting effects, as the items written down each day don't have to be profound or complex. From enjoying a delicious take-out Thai dinner to receiving a heartfelt bear hug from a child or receiving recognition from a boss, capturing these specific moments can have a significant impact on overall happiness.
