Happiness depends on ourselves
Happiness as a central purpose of human life and a goal in itself.
There's More to Life Than Being Happy
Meaning comes from the pursuit of more complex things than happiness
the last of the human freedoms -- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.
We need a new economic paradigm that recognizes the parity between the three pillars of sustainable development. Social, economic and environmental well-being are indivisible. Together they define gross global happiness
This is the understanding of happiness with which the modern world begins; it is vividly captured in the second sentence of the Declaration of Independence, which asserts as self-evident a right to “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
let the “pursuit of Happiness” stand unedited and unamended.
your happiness consists of how happy you naturally are, plus whatever is going on in your life to affect your happiness, plus a bit of voluntary work.
If you want to be happy, don’t ever ask yourself if you are.
It is a perverse consequence of our fortunate condition that the question of our happiness, or lack of it, presses unhappily hard on us.
