Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness.
Scientifically, happiness is a choice. It is a choice about where your single processor brain will devote its finite resources as you process the world.
Happiness must be cultivated. It is like character. It is not a thing to be safely let alone for a moment, or it will run to weeds.
Happiness serves hardly any other purpose than to make unhappiness possible.
Happiness comes when we test our skills towards some meaningful purpose.
Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times.
Happiness seems made to be shared.
The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness.
Happiness is a real, objective phenomenon, scientifically verifiable. That means people and whole societies can now be measured over time and compared accurately with one another. Causes and cures for unhappiness can be quantified.
