Does Beauty Around You Help?

BEAUTIFUL PLACE POWER 

People are happier in more beautiful environments, research finds. That doesn’t just mean nature: people are also happier in towns and cities. Towers, churches and cottages can make people as happy as ponds, paths and rivers. Beautiful scenes — whether natural or man-made — allow the mind to recover. Picturesque, bright areas with broad views help the mind to restore itself. The finding builds on a previous study that found people also feel healthier in more beautiful places.
