Title: Scientifically and Rationaly, We Can Choose To Be Happy.
Post by: Nurul Mohammad Zayed on March 10, 2016, 05:53:29 AM

One theory in psychology research suggests that we all have a happiness "set-point" that largely determines our overall well-being. We oscillate around this set point, becoming happier when something positive happens or the opposite, afterwards returning to equilibrium.

But this set-point, to a certain extent, can bereset. Although our general mood levels and well-being are partially determined by factors like genetics and upbringing, roughly 40 percent of our happiness is within our control,according to some experts, and a large body of research in the field of positive psychology has shown that happiness is a choice that anyone can make. As psychologist William James put it, “The greatest discovery of any generation is that a human can alter his life by altering his attitude."

yes agreed. happiness is a choice, not a destination. The lower benchmark, the happier a person is.
