How to Achieve Happiness
A
We can find happiness right in our ownhome, our workplace, in school, inthe company of our friends, etc. It is up tous to find the ways and means to achieve that happiness each of us seek andlong for. However, it is essential to recognize that there is no one absoluteway to achieve happiness. People may have different ideas with regard to theways of achieving happiness. The following classifications ( 分类）are perceived by many people assources of happiness: family and friends, wealth, position, educationalachievement, fame ( 名声).
B
Happiness is a mental state of well-beingcharacterized by positive or pleasant emotions ( 情感）ranging from contentment to intense joy. A variety of biological, psychological,religious, and philosophical approaches have striven to define happiness andidentify its sources. Various research groups, including Positive psychology,endeavor to apply the scientific method to answer
questions about what “happiness” is, and how we might attain it.Philosophers and religious thinkers often define happiness in terms of living agood life, or flourishing, rather than simply as an emotion. Happiness in thissense was used to translate the Greek Eudaimonia, and is still used in virtueethics.Happiness economics suggests that measures of public happiness should beused to
supplement more traditional economicmeasures when evaluating ( 评估) the success of public policy.
C
The While level of physical healthiness isthe biggest determinant of happiness, comparison of financial success withothers of the same age group is the second largest source of happiness andunhappiness. Financially richer people tend to be happier than poorer people,according to sociological researcher Glenn Firebaugh, Pennsylvania StateUniversity, and graduate student Laura Tach, Harvard University. Their researchis focused on whether the income effect on happiness results largely from thethings money can buy (absolute income effect) or from comparing one’s income to the income of others(relative income effect). They present their research in a session paper, titled“RelativeIncome and Happiness: Are Americans on a Hedonic Treadmill?” at the American SociologicalAssociation Centennial Annual Meeting on August 14.Firebaugh argues that, mevaluating their own incomes, individuals compare themselves to their peers ofthe same age. Therefore a person’s reported level of happiness depends on how his or her incomecompares to others in the same age group. Using comparison groups on the basisof age, the researchers find evidence of both relative and absolute effects,but relative income is more important than absolute income in determining thehappiness of individuals in the United States. This may result in aself-indulgent treadmill ( 枯燥)， becauseincomes in the United States rise over most of the adult lifespan. They alwaysdissatisfy with the salary. The survey indicates that the students studied inHarvard University expect to earn much more money than their classmates
rather than care about the exact amount ofthe salary.
D
The Minnesota Study of Twins Reared Apart(MISTRA) has a fascinating history, but eventually had 120 pairs ofreared-apart twins plus four sets of reared-apart triplets-’the most extensive and intensivestudy of these rare experiments of (human) nature ever attempted’. In an early report of results it wasfound that, on most measurable psychological traits, monozygotic twins rearedapart (MZA) were as similar as monozygotic twins reared together. Among personsof European ancestry, for psychological features that can be measured,heritabilities ( 遗传可能性)rangefrom about 25 per cent to 80 per cent. Or, to put it more concretely ( 具体地), from one-fourth to fourfifths ofthe variation from person to person in such features as IQ, creativity andhappiness, is associated with genetic differences between those persons. Thatindicates that besides the environments, genetic difference may also affect thehappiness. Furthermore, neurobiological evidence shows that left and rightfrontal lobes play different roles in the emotion. Happiness is a
type of emotion, a positive one. From theexperiments, happiness and the left prefrontal lobe are combined together. Themore active it is ,the more positive emotion you sense.
E
At the outset of new millennium, a globalresearch had a result that the people living the modem world were even moreunhappy. Happiness is a mixture of positive emotions, ranging from a feeling ofheavenly bliss or delight to a state of well-being and contentment. There aremany ways to be happy; but with crises being on the rise these days, findinghappiness can be a bit challenging. Despite of all the stresses associated with( 与... 联系)life, we still do our best to behappy—because beinghappy is the only way to keep us afloat. Happiness is considered a veryimportant therapy, both physically and mentally. With it, we are inspired toaccomplish whatever goals we want to achieve. It’s a strong drive that keeps us going and helps us live our lifeevery single day. Spend time with individuals who are dear to you. There isnothing more joyful than to be with the people you love. During the weekends,try to schedule a fun trip for you and your partner, or one for your wholefamily. Just go somewhere else for a change and enjoy the change of scenery. Dosomething nice for others. Helping others is a very honorable way to findhappiness. If your schedule is too tight for volunteer work, you can justdonate a small sum of money or some old clothes or toys to charity. When youeat out, try to be a good tipper to the waiters or the valet who safely parkedyour car. All these simple things will not only make you happy, but otherpeople as well. Start and end your day with a smile. Smiling is a very powerfulgesture. There’s no need forwords to describe how pleasant it is. If you have a lousy day, smile your wayout of the office. When people smile back at you, it will uplift your mood andmake you feel better. Spend some time with your friends. A close circle offriends is one of the most important souse of happiness.
