We throw around the words "happy" and "happiness" quite a lot. Many will use them in describing their personal life goals, but what does it actually mean, from a psychological point of view, to be happy? And how can we know if we're on a path that pursues said happiness? Is it about things being easy or hard? Is it about money, fulfilment, or gaining the respect of others? How about the differences between short-term and long-term happiness? Is it different for everyone or are there some aspects which we all need to achieve happiness?
Let's talk about the psychology of happiness. Let's look at it from different points of view and from different angles. Let's learn the psychology and discuss what happiness means to us. Let's have an intelligent discussion about what happiness is, the pursuit of happiness, and how important it actually is in our own lives.
