You don’t need to wonder why the people who like the outdoors are generally happier than others. Happiness researcher Shawn Achor wrote in his book The Happiness Advantage that it only takes 20 minutes outside in the right weather for our mood to boost and for our working memory to improve.
Those are fantastic benefits for spending a short amount of time outside. If you keep it up throughout the week, then your whole life is going to be better. For future reference, the American Meteorological Society says the perfect weather for maximized happiness is 57 degrees Fahrenheit.
