The search for happiness is a universal phenomenon. We want to be satisfied and content with ourselves and our lives. We may find ourselves unhappy and direct our search for happiness towards objects, actions, or “whens.” We believe that buying a new stereo to reward our hard work will give us the happiness we desire. We imagine losing 15 pounds will give us the satisfaction we are lacking. We trust that we will find happiness when we buy a house, get a new job, or retire. Perhaps some of these things will bring us joy for a short period of time but then the pleasant feelings may fade as we are searching for our next happiness high.

If objects, actions, and “whens” do not provide us with the happiness we are lacking, why do we continue to seek out the next great thing? Could it be that we are seeking that quick fix, that easy answer?

Is there an easy answer to where happiness comes from? Yes. Recent research shows that happiness comes from within, and besides feeling good, benefits abound to knowing what makes us happy. Our overall health and well-being improves as our happiness increases. Studies reveal that happy people have stronger immune systems, cope better with pain, and live longer than unhappy people. Happy people choose healthier foods and exercise regularly. Additionally, feeling positive emotions increases immune function and reduces stress.
