A Guide to Happiness
The Zen Habits blog has lots of practical advice for simplifying life, getting things done, and guiding toward activities to make you happy.
There is also a reference to the Happiness Project blog.
An interesting read on happiness is Stumbling on Happiness by Daniel Gilbert.
He busts some common myths about what people think they know about happiness by analyzing research on how the mind really works and doesn't work.
He explains in the book why people have difficulty imagining and predicting happiness and a better way is to rely on the experience of other people.

Cold drink when you haven't planned and are impatient
What is the fastest way to get a cold drink?
Adam Savage from Mythbusters has the answer.
To the question about why are you drinking a carbonated beverage - I have been told there is no right answer.
Adam Savage from Mythbusters has the answer.
That would be about 20-25 minutes in a freezer. If you put it in a bucket of ice, that would halve that time. If you put water in that ice, it'd be cold (+- 5c) enough to drink in about 4-6 minutes, if you put salt in that water, you'd reduce the chill time to just over 2 minutes. Agitating the can in the water, rolling it around, reduces the chill time even more.For the smart-ass who is asking "why not just pour the drink on the ice in a glass?". The scenario is that it is a carbonated beverage that will lose its carbonation if opened warm.
The fastest possible way is to grab a CO2 fire extinguisher and unload that sucker on the can.
Whatever you do, do NOT bury the can in sand, pour gasoline on the sand and set the sand on fire. That won't do anything.
This is all empirically gained evidence, not third party.
