Commentary for Proverbs 17:22

לֵ֣ב שָׂ֭מֵחַ יֵיטִ֣ב גֵּהָ֑ה וְר֥וּחַ נְ֝כֵאָ֗ה תְּיַבֶּשׁ־גָּֽרֶם׃

A merry heart is a good medicine; But a broken spirit drieth the bones.

Rashi on Proverbs

A happy heart enhances one’s brilliance Heb. גהה. When a person is satisfied with his lot, his countenance shines.
