Feeling pleasure all the time
Never feeling negative emotions, pain,

4. DEFINITION OF HAPPINESS
According Sonja Lyubomirsky,
professor of psychology at UC
Riverside:
“The experience of joy, contentment
or positive well-being, combined with
a sense that one’s life is good,
meaningful and worthwhile”
5. WHAT DETERMINES OUR
HAPPINESS?
According to research by Sonja Lyubomirsky:
50% of our happiness comes from our genes
10% life circumstances
40% intentional activity
7. MONEY AND HAPPINESS
Research by Ed Diener: Money indeed increases the
level of happiness when it helps to lift people out of
poverty!
Earning up to $75,000 (in the U.S.) makes people
happier but when that level is reached our happiness
seems to be unaffected with more income!
8. WHAT MAKES US HAPPY?
Proven Facts: Good sleep patterns,
regular exercise and achievements!
Social connections
Romantic relationships
Family & friends
Compassion & kindness

Brene Brown: connection
gives us meaning and
purpose in life.
Research by Ed Diener and
Martin Seligman – social
relationships form a necessary
but not sufficient condition for
high happiness
