Summary

In the article “Writing Your Way to Happiness”,  Parker-Pope (2015) states that writing one’s own experience can develop physical and mental health. The author believes that our world outlook and self-positioning depends on these personal statements. Stanford researchers once carried out a study on the college freshmen. Results showed that writing could encourage people and give them confidence towards their future. Tara(2015) also mentions that writing can help people to face the difficulties in their life truly. By taking example of a woman Siri in the Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute, she realised her real problems through writing. Thus, it is asserted in the article that writing indeed helps you recognize what hinders you and give you a chance to change them.
