Happiness is the elusive quest behind every human endeavor. www.helpingpsychology.com http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/positive-psychology-2.jpg
Famous businessman, Lester Levenson defines Happiness as the state of mind where there is no trace of sorrow. www.helpingpsychology.com http://www.topnews.in/files/happiness101.jpg
The Three Components Of Happiness Opinions by many academicians and laymen alike have been written about the psychology of happiness. www.helpingpsychology.com http://www.activepsychology.com.au/images/About.Active.Psychology.image.jpg
James Montier wrote a book titled ‘The Psychology of Happiness’, where he considered the forces that produce the emotion in question and concluded that it was due to three components. ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],www.helpingpsychology.com
In other words, being in the right place at the right time; doing just the right thing and with the right people. But it’s all subjective. www.helpingpsychology.com http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3514/3975941048_04c46b3266.jpg
Does Money Buy Happiness? A person looking into the psychology of happiness may wonder what does not bring about this sought-after emotion. www.helpingpsychology.com http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kz9z1q7t7k1qa4treo1_500.jpg
It is the one thing that the majority of people spend their time working on: the pursuit of money. According to author Shankar Vedantam, if personal wealth were the answer to happiness, then, prosperous Americans should be the happiest people on Earth. www.helpingpsychology.com http://www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com/valleygirlblog/wp-content/uploads/holiday-shopping-tips.jpg
Desires change with material prosperity, but sometimes the wealthy are never satisfied long enough to create a lasting state of happiness. www.helpingpsychology.com http://arvinddevalia.images.s3.amazonaws.com/happiness-backwards.jpg
This lack of balance often results in both psychological and physical problems, which, can lead to a state of chronic dissatisfaction, even regret and bitterness. Other studies indicate that wealthy people spend little time pursuing pleasurable activities. www.helpingpsychology.com
If money, as the old saying has it, does not buy happiness, then what does? www.helpingpsychology.com http://www.raleighdentist.com/graphics/smiling%20family.jpg
Do High Achievers Attain Happiness? Often people think that goal setting and planning for the future might make their life less stressful. http://mountainsacrosstheglobe.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/cliffs-2.jpg www.helpingpsychology.com
But, according to Daniel Gilbert, a psychology professor at Harvard, human beings, are notoriously bad at predicting future outcomes. www.helpingpsychology.com
What Creates Happiness? www.helpingpsychology.com http://goodlifezen.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/two-children-happiness.jpg
Happiness does not lie in the pursuit of the things that we believe will make us happy. Happiness lies in our attitude and belief in what things mean. www.helpingpsychology.com http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_icpfj2GH9Jg/R3-Z1DiaV7I/AAAAAAAAAto/hMdiWZafZww/s400/iStock_000004625200XSmall.jpg
The psychology of happiness may be as simple as being content with what we have in life. www.helpingpsychology.com http://animalinstinctadvertising.com/media/Smiling-GirlSm.jpg
