AromatherHAPPY: The Nose Sure Knows
Scientists recently discovered that smelling pastries boosts your mood. Who knew?
According to an article from Newsweek.com by Anne Underwood, "Agreeable scents can summon the better angels of our nature. Psychologist Robert Baron tested people in fragrant locations like Cinnabon and the Coffee Beanery and found they were significantly more likely to help a stranger who 'accidentally' dropped a pen or asked for change."
What do you think? Do you agree with this science? How might research like this be helpful to people?
