True or False:
●I would be happier if I made more money, found the perfect husband, lost 10 pounds or moved to a new house.
●Happiness is genetic. You can’t change how happy you are any more than you can change how tall you are.
●Success brings happiness.
Answers: False, False, False.
If recent scientific research on happiness---and there has been quite a bit---has proved anything, it’s that happiness is not a goal. It’s a process. Although our tendency to be happy or not is partly inborn, it’s also partly within our control. Perhaps more surprising, happiness brings success, not the other way around. Though many people think happiness is hard to find, scientists have actually pinned it down and know how to get it.
“Many of us have material things and our basic needs met, so we are looking for what comes after that,” says Diener, a psychologist. “Materialism isn’t bad. It’s only bad if we use it to replace other things in life like meaningful work, a good marriage, kids and friends. People are recognizing that those who make money more important than love have lower levels of life satisfaction.”
“People around the world want it. If you ask people what they want for their children, they will say for them to be happy. There is no doubt that happiness matters to and affects everyone.”
Among the major findings of the last decade is that the pursuit of happiness is a worthy cause. Diener says. “Happiness doesn’t just mean feeling good. It’s good for you and for society. Happy people are more successful, have better relationships, are healthier and live longer. We’ve learned in 10 years that happy people are more productive at work, learn more in school, get promoted more, are creative and are more popular.”
