Onya science! People in lab coats discover the secret of happiness.

The secret of happiness? Gratitude.

Turns out the simple act of saying ‘thank you’ can increase a person’s happiness by nearly 20%.

Soul Pancake (the people behind the fabulous Kid President videos), have made this short video in which they asked a group of people to write a letter to someone who’d had a great affect on their lives.

They were then asked to call that person and read them the letter.

Cue: awkward. Followed by lots of tears, smiles and heart-warming-up moments. The video has gone viral.

This is just the thing you need to get through a Monday morning.

Who would you call to thank if you had the chance? Do you agree it is the secret of happiness?
