Here’s what’s making us happy this week.

The staff at Lit Hub, an online literary platform, shared their sources of happiness for the week.

Unlike grand gestures or expensive luxuries, their joy came from small, everyday pleasures.

These included good gags, which refer to clever or humorous jokes, and surprise fruit, highlighting the delight of unexpected treats.

Additionally, they appreciated easily navigated research databases, which are digital collections of information that allow users to search and retrieve data efficiently.

The staff’s focus on simplicity reflects a broader trend in well-being research, where small, accessible joys often contribute significantly to overall happiness.
