What Makes People Happy? In Simple Notes

Author : Yun Kit HO
#1 Daniel Gilbert , author of Stumbling On Happiness.
Best predictor of happiness is not whether something wonderful happens to you but how many small positive things you experience daily.In simple words, small pleasures and happy incidences are worth more than a magnificent one. In addition, small and frequent happiness makes us much more happy.#2 Seb Bailey, author of Give Me Time.
In his book, Seb Bailey wrote a very meaningful equation of what attributes equals happiness.Happiness = Pleasures + Challenge + MeaningProblem with most of us is that we focus too much on pleasure and left out the other two. And theyounger generation seems to evolve the equation into just:Happiness = PleasuresHence we need to get back to the original equation to get a pure sense of happiness.#3 Martha Beck , author of Joy Diet: 10 Steps to a Happier Life.
Martha Beck wrote the best way to be happy is to learn not to think. If we want to be happy, we need to learn to detach ourselves from thoughts that cause immense suffering.If not, try to have the opposite thought and see if that could be true as well. Often, the less horrifying thought feels truer.#4 Alain de Botton, author of The Architecture of Happiness.
In his book, Mr. Allain wrote that if we are making up our mind to be happy or sad, our surroundings could nudge us one way or another.Simple and short, our environment can make us happy and unhappy. When we are down and are put into a grand beautiful hotel we should be better off that a rundown hotel.There's a view that what affects us is internal and psychological, but there's another layer that affects us and it's what is in front of our eyes. A nicely painted wall won't change everything but it can make us smile.#5 Nina Grunfield, author of The Big Book Of Me.
Nina Grunfield comments that noticing and remembering all the things that make us feel good can make us feel happier.Nina comments that we tend to put ourselves down, to think about the long lists of things we haven't done, to remember what we messed up: focusing on the good stuff and on what we like gives us permission to enjoy ourselves and stops us feeling that we're being buffeted about by fate.Hence think of a happy incident or the things we had done today and appreciate life more.#6 Stephen Joseph, Professor of health psychology, University of Nottingham
