Survey Says

Welcome to New York, the Most Miserable State in the Country

New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey are the least happy states in the union. A new study just published in Science, ranks them dead last in terms of good cheer, after every other state and the District of Columbia. Mississippi, the fattest state, is the 6th happiest state, right after Louisiana, Hawaii, Florida, Tennessee, and Arizona. Apparently sunshine accounts for a lot. Though California is 46th in terms of happiness, so sunshine isn't everything.

So what's a tri-state area resident to do? If you don't want to move to Tennessee, you might stop and recall that study we told you about a couple of weeks ago showing that exercise alleviates depression, especially if you keep an exercise log. So New Yorkers, you live in a bummer of a state, but Social Workout wants to help! 15 days left in the Emergency Holiday Challenge. Log your workouts, and you'll get a little of that Louisiana sunshine in your heart without actually having to go there.
