1) According to research done by Sonja Lyubomirsky PhD. in the book The Happiness Diet, forty percent of our happiness may actually be within our power to control (Lyubomirsky, S., 2008).

Summary: We can make ourselves more happy if we put in the effort because it is about 40% in our control. When we try to be happy we often find ourselves thinking if I'm successful I will be happier.
