"If we practise gratitude on a daily basis, that is actually setting down new pathways in the brain - in a good way."ĭavid Cregg from Ohio State University has been looking at the clinical applications of positive psychology. Setting and working towards realistic goals Exercise Practising gratitude, mindfulness and kindness every dayĭr Sharp says those actions can deliver positive returns "in a matter of weeks".He says some of the main techniques to increase happiness include: "There's been a massive growth in the science, the number of studies, and now literally thousands upon thousands of articles supporting the principles of positive psychology," he tells Hack. In the last 20 years, Dr Sharp says interest in positive psychology has risen significantly. "So it's more about focusing on strengths and positive attributes and helping people not just feel less distressed, but feel happier and more resilient." The rise of positive psychology ![]() "Positive psychology is saying, well what if we also asked what's right with people?" says Australian Dr Tim Sharp, who heads up the Happiness Institute in Sydney. Proponents say it can work alongside traditional forms of psychology and psychotherapy, which they say has more of a 'fix what's wrong' approach. That focus on happiness tracks the increasing popularity of positive psychology, a movement that seeks to amplify positive emotions and personal strengths, through a variety of techniques - including meditation. "And so I then started to meditate a little bit and I really saw significant benefits in my life."įor him, it was the key to increased happiness, drowning out that negative internal voice. "It's really good for anxiety and depression, both of which I've suffered with since I was a kid. " I started to realise, there's an enormous amount of evidence that meditation can rewire key parts of your brain, can lower your blood pressure, boost your immune system. "I considered to be the apex of ridiculousness," he says. Here's my new thread linked to below.Dan Harris found meditation significantly increased his happiness levels, and reduced his negative inner voice. These are different from the Haswell+ issues and I believe are related to the USB drivers (feel free to correct if wrong). Keep in mind, Ryzen dos have issues with Vista. If you have a modern Ryzen and want to try to get its graphics driver to work with Vista, then be my guest. I do not have one, so I won't be participating as much, if at all in this iteration of the thread. October 22nd, 2022: I'm refocusing this thread to just AMD Ryzen from here on out. October 18th, 2022: BREAKING NEWS A huge development has been reported! This just broke the Vista compatibility vault wide-opened! Unfortunately, it will be a bit before this is available to everybody. Please stay tuned for more information on this as it comes in. October 17th, 2022: BREAKING NEWS: We may be one step closer to getting newer AMD Radeon graphics drivers such as for Stoney Ridge working with Windows Vista under Extended Kernel. If anyone testing Vista on this or related AMD Radeons like Stoney Ridge notices any problems I may have missed, please do post them here for me and other users. I should note the problems that plague Haswell+ and Ryzen do not happen here and I've recorded no problems from what I could gather in my test. If so, it would open up the Vista compatibility door wide-open here. It will be interesting to see if these can be leveraged to work on Vista. I know there is newer that still has the 6.0 section, but those invert the color in a game I play when the game is in full screen (non-full screen is fine) while these do not. ![]() You can find the graphics driver I use for it here: Given that is there, it can't be too much work to hack work it onto Vista, right? My AMD laptop that can run Vista is an Acer Aspire A315-21 with Radeon R4 Stoney Ridge 98E4 from 2019. This has a 6.1 and a 6.3 section that is filled in of course, but at the very bottom, it has a blank 6.0 section. Inspired by success with getting newer Nvidia drivers to work with Windows Vista, I was wondering if it would be possible to get some newer AMD graphics drivers to work, say, the Radeon R4 98E4 Stoney Ridge and related cards that use the same driver. ![]()
