Anger can improve happiness. While it may sound strange to say that anger and hatred can somehow improve one’s happiness, research shows that this may be true. An international study found that happiness is more complicated than seeking to feel good and avoiding feeling bad.

Some interesting findings showed that 11% of participants want to feel less positive emotions and 10% want to feel more negative ones. To make sense of this, Dr. Maya Tamir from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem explains that people who read horrible news want to feel sad or angry rather than feeling nothing. Researchers also found that expecting to feel happy constantly can have serious downsides since it’s natural to have an ebb and flow of emotions.
