Hello! I am the author of this website. I will be grateful for a small favour (not money!) that will take you seconds! I am interested in psychology, and as a project, I want to create a free website that shares information on how to find happiness by changing negative thinking patterns. I need to choose a nice name for the website, and I managed to get the two website names shown below. I would be grateful if you could help me decide which name is better by selecting the one below that you think will attract more visitors. Your answer will really help me to decide. Thank you!
