If You Do This One Thing, You're Probably Happier Than Most People

Book worms rejoice!

New research has found that if you spend the night reading a good book, you'll actually be much happier. Which isn't great news because lets be honest, most of us spend our nights either on Netflix or our phones. 

Quick Reads and the Centre for Research into Reading, Literature and Society at the University of Liverpool conducted a poll that found reading improves a person's overall happiness.

Two thousand adults were asked questions about their reading habits, with a quarter of them saying that reading made them want to make positive life changes.

41 per cent said reading was a more relaxing way to spend the evening opposed to being out with friends or having a bubble bath. A bubble bath?! THAT'S saying something.

Psychologist Raymond Mar conducted a separate study that found people who read fiction to be more empathetic than those who don't. 

Well looks like we'll be dusting off our Fifty Shades of Grey book tonight.
