London: What are the things that can make a person's life happier?
These include smiling at strangers and cutting television viewing by half.
In an unusual three-month experiment, six specialists from a variety of disciplines worked to improve the happiness levels of a typical British town.
The experts tried and tested 10 simple measures on the quest to happiness and found that successful strategies included nurturing a plant, smiling at strangers and cutting television viewing by half.
A four-part observational BBC documentary series, 'Making Slough Happy', follows the team and their progress.
The happiness team includes psychologist Richard Stevens, psychotherapist Brett Kahr, work place specialists Jessica Pryce-Jones and Philippa Chapman, social entrepreneur Andrew Mawson and Richard Reeves, whose expertise spans philosophy, public policy and economics.
During the series, they take 50 volunteers from Slough, with the aim of planting the 'seeds of happiness' among these people, who will then spread their cheer to others in a ripple effect.
