oye123 1,615 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I am not sure if i am posting it in right section bt i ll post it here for now Anyone can feel happier. It's easy. Science says so This post is in partnership with Inc., which offers useful advice, resources and insights to entrepreneurs and business owners. The article below was originally published atInc.com. By Jeff Hadden Forget success. Forget fame. Forget fortune. Happiness is something everyone wants, and wants to feel a lot more often–because where happiness is concerned, too much is never enough. Unfortunately we all have a hereditary “happiness set point.†That means approximately 50% of our happiness is outside of our control. But that means 50% of our level of happiness is totally within our control. So even if you’re genetically disposed to be somewhat gloomy, you can still do things to make yourself a lot happier. (Choosingnot to do certain things will make you happier, too.) So doesn’t it make sense to create habits and build a lifestyle that allows you to feel more satisfied and more fulfilled? Check out this infographic on the science of happiness fromHappify…and start making changes that will make you feel a lot happier. SOURCE Just because science says so does it make it really true? (that happiness is easily attainable or those are the ways in which happiness can be attained) Do you think that the criteria this organization used to measure a country's happiness was right? If not, what would you have added to the criteria? Discuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mew21 3,160 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 It kinda makes sense to me.. I personally think I'd be happier if I had been doing all the things they listed there but implementing that idea in action seems really difficult.. its like a complete change of life style..

Faye사랑 896 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 You shouldn't have to try to be happy. happiness is something that just happens. By this chart on some parts apparently I am not happy when I feel perfectly fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreepyPanda 5,157 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 But I can't do most of those things. This list is kinda stupid, it tells you to do things that make you happy to be happy, when most people are unhappy it is because they don't have these things, or at least that's how it is for me.

Jrump 107 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 It says 50% of happiness is genetically determined.. my "happy" pills have that percentage covered at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yerowan 1,006 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Ugh. 50% genetics, 40% thoughts/actions/behaviors, 10% circumstances? As if there's no interaction between the first 50% and the last combined 50%. Genetics potentially affect that 40% pretty heavily, given that a lot of mental illness has a genetic component. I don't consider a reaction faked for a specific audience (smiling while you agree to work still more overtime) to be part of that 40%. Forcing yourself to smile might make you less inclined to act on your frustration, but it doesn't make you *happier.* Also... make lots of friends? Not everybody *wants* lots of friends. Some of us find it emotionally draining to deal with other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
