Too few people appreciate the value of celebrating themselves, seeing it as selfish or self-indulgent instead. In reality, it can be a vital way to deal with stress—and it's simple to get started.

It's long been known that therapy helps people change for the better, but research hasn't been able to explain exactly why. Now a major new study puts forth the most definitive answer.
