No comments :
I was recently watching a TED talk given by Dan Gilbert called “The Surprising Science of Happiness,” where Mr. Gilbert points out that too many options actually lower our level of contentment about any given thing.

A flat stomach is the ultimate goal for many gym-goers. Walk into any gym in the country, and there is sure to be someone on their back doing crunches or holding a dumbbell while they side bend – all in pursuit of tight, toned abs.
