Top 50 'Simple' Pleasures in Life

Researchers polled 2,000 adults to determine all the little things that bring people joy. Sleeping in a big comfy bed, receiving a compliment from a stranger, and having a good hair day all show up on the list. Other favorites include a roaring fire, getting a cuddle from your children, cake and gossiping with friends. Going on a bike ride, meeting new people, and wearing a new pair of socks for the first time all appeared in the top 50. The satisfaction of a moment’s pleasure can last for up to 22 minutes on average. Half of those polled say they don’t get to enjoy life’s simplest pleasures often enough for their liking.
