International Day of Happiness

What is Happiness

❖ Happiness is about our lives as a whole: it includes

the fluctuating feelings we experience everyday

but also our overall satisfaction with life. It is

influenced by our genes, upbringing and our

external circumstances - such as our health, our

work and our financial situation. But crucially it is

also heavily influenced by our choices - our inner

attitudes, how we approach our relationships, our

personal values and our sense of purpose.

depends

upon

ourselves.”

❖ In 2012, the United Nations (UN) declared

March 20 to be observed as the

International Day of Happiness. By

the idea that economic growth must be

inclusive, equitable, and balanced, such

❖ Although online relationships will never be as valuable as those we create in person - the internet is still a great tool for spreading good ideas! You can help make the world a happier and more connected place by sharing an inspiring personal message

Research on Happiness

❖ The research shows that we need a change of

priorities, both at the societal level and as

individuals. Happiness and fulfilment come

less from material wealth and more from

relationships; less from focussing on

ourselves and more from helping others; less

from external factors outside our control and

more from the way in which we choose to

react to what happens to us.

Our happiness is not set in stone

❖ Although our genes influence

about 50% of the variation in

our personal happiness, our

circumstances (like income and

environment) affect only about

10%.

❖ As much as 40% is accounted

for by our daily activities and

the conscious choices we

make. So the good news is that

our actions really can make a

difference.

Live with Positive Emotions You are a lesser patient

❖ Optimism and positive

emotion were found to

disease and reduce risk,

by around 50%, of

experiencing a

cardiovascular event,

such as a heart attack.

your life by

charming

gardeners who

blossom.”

Count the Reasons for HAPPINES

❖Man is fond of

counting his troubles,

but he does not count

his joys. If he counted

them up as he ought

to, he would see that

every lot has enough

happiness provided

for it.

Consider to be Happy

The best philosophy

❖ The philosophy of happiness has continued to

have profound influence to this day, both in

intellectual discourse and in everyday

arguments about what is right and wrong. Most

of those who espouse it today are concerned

not only with average happiness but also with

inequalities in happiness: they consider it more

important to reduce misery than to increase

happiness .
