One of the most beloved parts of the Declaration of Independence reads: ”We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Yes, we all have the right to pursue happiness!
But how is this accoplished? Today we actually have a science of happiness that can provide some insights!
The Science of Happiness“Positive psychology (http://www.ahhthesimplelife.com/happiness-tos/#) is a recent branch of psychology whose purpose was summed up in 1998 by Martin Seligman and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi: ‘We believe that a psychology of positive human functioning will arise, which achieves a scientific understanding and effective interventions to build thriving individuals, families, and communities.’ Positive psychologists seek ‘to find and nurture genius and talent’ and ‘to make normal life more fulfilling’, rather than merely treating mental illness. Positive psychology is primarily concerned with using the psychological theory, research and intervention techniques to understand the positive, adaptive, creative and emotionally fulfilling aspects of human behavior.” - Wikipedia
Have you heard of something called “Project Happiness?” It is “a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring and empowering people with the resources to create greater happiness within themselves and the world.”
