Free Happier Tests!
I recently came across a new website with a different twist on depression. It's called Happier. Instead of focusing on the things that make us depressed and trying to overcome those negative feelings, this site focuses on doing things that make you happier.
The happier.com website launched on September 23, 2009 and is designed to help people not just be happier but “do happier.” This innovative website provides online tools and exercises for users to make an immediate positive impact on their lives. The website allows users to participate by taking 4 free validated tests with instant feedback on strengths, optimism, happiness and positivity. More than 100 exclusive videos from the world’s leading happiness researchers and practitioners are also included in this section of the site.

Premium users can subscribe for just $5 a month for access to more than a dozen research-backed tools customized to increase happiness, resilience, optimism, engagement, and meaning. The founders worked closely with positive psychology experts, including Martin E.P. Seligman, an exclusive consultant who is the “father of positive psychology” and a noted professor from the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Seligman is the best-known author, teacher and researcher in the field of positive psychology. His work spans 30 years, 200 articles, and books in over 20 languages.
Happier is something most of us would love to be so I would suggest having a look at this new website. I sure liked what I saw!

Here is my take on it. I totally agree how that website looks at depression. You need to move forward and not look back at past depression experiences (at least in a negative way). Never focus on the negative things. Depression has ran in my family for awhile. Life is great, depression is not. So why even put any focus on it depressive thoughts. Overcoming means doing and focusing on the opposite. That helps you move life ward.
Great article,

If Seligman runs for politics, I will definitely vote for him.

Sometimes in life we often experience sad moments. Instead of focusing into this, it also helps to recall on our blessings. If it would be hard to think of happy memories, at least we can write down on things or situation that makes us happy and we would then make this as our target in achieving it. If this is hard, we can just start from listing on the things we are thankful for.
