Can Software Make You Happy?

Become Happy software purports to make users happier. Here’s their explanation.

Become Happy slightly changes look and feel of your desktop, of all windows opened and all the music and sound playing, affecting your endorphin-hormone (the natural body’s painkiller) release. This leads to mood elevation, better health, and, finally, to becoming more happy. This software automatically fine-tunes itself according to your click speed, monitor settings and so on. Become Happy is a medically-designed and highly tested software so we guarrantee it will not make any harm to you and your family.

Call me skeptical, but I don’t believe it. It also costs $30, which goes against my frugal nature. I love this comment a user made about the software. It matches my thinking exactly.

it ought to make the seller happy. I think I will be happier to keep my money.

  1. It’s kind of funny that they *claim* it will make you happy, but they only *guarantee* that you won’t be harmed. :)

  2. I too found it strange that they even mentioned harming you. I hadn’t considered it until they brought it up.
