Gift The Experience: It Makes Us Happier Than Material Gifts

Online, February 18, 2010 (Newswire.com) - VANCOUVER, Feb. 18 - CNN Health newly reported that a recent psychological research from Ryan Howell, assistant professor at San Francisco State University, established that in the long run, experiences make people happier than possessions because they provide happiness through memories long after the event occurred.
