In his editorial “Prescribing happiness” published in the September issue of Canadian Family Physician, Associate Scientific Editor Dr Roger Ladouceur invited you to share “sound advice to help your unhappy patients on their path to happiness.”1 Ladouceur’s call was met with many suggestions from our fellow readers. We thank all of you for your responses and we present some of them here.

Three pieces of advice for happiness include the following.

  • Spend active time outdoors, preferably in a natural environment every day.

  • Think about 3 things you are grateful for every morning.

  • Surround yourself with supportive people.
