There is no one true, perfect recipe for a happy full life. Everyone needs to carve their own path and come up with their own definition of happiness. However, most people sabotage themselves with some common habits. The good news is that these habits are often simple to define and easy to change.

A study in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology says that the hatred toward collective entities like institutions or groups can bring meaning in life. This is also why many prominent cultural figures or political movements have gained steam when they have a clear, identifiable enemy.
