You don't have to be a National Geographic fellow like Dan Buettner to know that one of the things that we Americans hate most on a daily basis is our commutes.
"If you can cut an hourlong commute each way out of your life," he told NPR, "it's the (happiness) equivalent of making an extra $40,000 a year if you're at the $50,000 to $60,000 level. It's an easy way for us to get happier. Move closer to your place of work."
