This is a question that has troubled many over the years. Many studies have linked the epidemic to technology and the internet. This is because a study that has been conducted since 1991 asks teens to rate their general happiness and how they usually spend their free time. The less happy teens are and time spent on the internet have a strong correlation.]]> 2019-04-29 17:32:27 UTC https://padlet.com/rileygla0613/mu62amt2pmua/wish/355127622 rileygla0613 https://padlet.com/rileygla0613/mu62amt2pmua/wish/360449414 Everybody has a different definition of happiness. Many people define it as being wealthy or having other materialistic things. But many people that are wealthy and have a lot of expensive things still aren't happy. So, what makes a person truly happy? A study by The Independent shows that people that are generally happy have a few key things in common. The people that responded that they were generally happy have strong relationships with a significant other or a family member. They also prefer to have more time than money, but they have enough money to pay the bills and live comfortably with their families. The study also shows that happy people tend to exercise more. The more you exercise, the more endorphins are released so exercise is another key element to living a happy life. So happiness to most happy people is living peacefully with a significant other and practicing a healthy lifestyle, and being able to go out and see the world. ]]> 2019-05-15 17:02:34 UTC https://padlet.com/rileygla0613/mu62amt2pmua/wish/360449414 rileygla0613 https://padlet.com/rileygla0613/mu62amt2pmua/wish/361164901 According to Jeff Durham, a psychologist, Happiness is what gives us our inclination to achieve our goals in life and also allows us to make others happy.

By being happy, we can help others on their pursuit of happiness.]]> 2019-05-17 13:14:21 UTC https://padlet.com/rileygla0613/mu62amt2pmua/wish/361164901 rileygla0613 https://padlet.com/rileygla0613/mu62amt2pmua/wish/362717453 “Happiness depends upon ourselves.”
― Aristotle

Aristotle, a great Greek philosopher, says that we only have control over our own happiness. Nobody else can change our mindset or effort toward the pursuit of happiness.]]> 2019-05-22 21:13:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rileygla0613/mu62amt2pmua/wish/362717453 rileygla0613 https://padlet.com/rileygla0613/mu62amt2pmua/wish/362732748 Many people today seem to have the mindset that happiness is just something that comes and goes and doesn't really matter that much. According to William Schultz Ph.D., happiness is just that. He explains his opinion on how happiness is not a vital part of life in his article. I do not agree with his views, I believe that happiness is what guides us to do great things.]]> 2019-05-22 22:49:09 UTC https://padlet.com/rileygla0613/mu62amt2pmua/wish/362732748 rileygla0613 https://padlet.com/rileygla0613/mu62amt2pmua/wish/362733111 A study led by Meike Bartels of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in the Netherlands her research points to up to 20 places in the human genome that could control happiness.
