Study says listening to an entire album can boost your mood

Saturday is “National Album Day,” so why not give a listen to your favorite album?   A study has been released claiming that there’s a strong link between listening to full albums and positive mental well-being.

It quotes a recent survey where 82.9% of people said listening to albums helped them relax, 76.4% said listening to albums can make them feel better if they’re feeling down, 74.3% said listening to their favorite albums is a source of comfort and 64.7% said they listen to their favorite albums when they feel like they need a lift.

Overall, people said that eating a favorite food was the most helpful way to boost their mood.  Reading was next, followed by listening to an album, exercising, watching a movie, watching TV, gardening, and taking a nap.

Check out the full study here.
