Need a break from burnout culture and bad headlines? Try a little... Foul Play. (And no, I’m not talking about office politics.) Sometimes the best way to reset your mindset isn’t a new app or productivity hack—it’s a vintage movie, a belly laugh, and permission to feel good just for fun’s sake. This week on The Daily Happy, I’m recommending a throwback gem:  Foul Play (1978) — a romantic comedy-t...

Today’s happiness boost? A full-on, unapologetic, DANCE PARTY. That’s right. We’re talking disco ball energy—no ball required. I’ve been throwing solo dance parties since before I could walk.

Whether you’re grooving with your golden retriever, your kids, your partner, or ju...
