Doctors at the Mayo Clinic have discovered that the Bible works. It is true if we follow it. Maybe they have come to faith in Christ or had a revelation. In fact, they may have an answer to real happiness.
Just as the Bible says, happiness or misery come mostly from the way I think. I am about as happy as I choose to be.
In 1974 I did research on how to "Equip God's people with the truth and skills of biblical living. I discovered that the Bible and basic Psychological ideas really overlap. I had thought Psychology was evil and anti-Christian but I was wrong. In my research I found it was powerfully good when seen through the lens of scripture.
For example, look at Philippians 4 and compare it with the article from The Mayo Clinic.
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
