Interview Happy People for an Article That Shares Their Tips

When you meet people who are positive-thinking and content with their lives, ask them what makes them feel that way. Ask them if you can interview them as part of the research effort you are doing for an article about happy people. Pose questions in a way that will draw out their answers — not simply as yes or no — but rather as long and thoughtful responses. Encourage them to share their tips for cultivating a happy life. Then, work up a short article about what you've learned and see if you can get your local newspaper or neighborhood flyer to print it.
