People who have close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives . The second of problem is to be active . Many people go dancing or play sports . People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities .

Finally , many people find happiness in helping others . According to studies , people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people .
