Although people have been intrigued by happiness for centuries, subjective well-being became a thriving topic of scientific inquiry only relatively recently, with the creation of valid and reliable well-being measures. Growing evidence suggests that happiness is associated with success in multiple domains, such as relationships, work, and health. However, objective life circumstances do not impact well-being as much as people believe, in part because of hedonic adaptation – one of the biggest obstacles in the pursuit of happiness. Fortunately, researchers have found that positive activities, like expressing gratitude or doing acts of kindness, can have a significant impact on well-being. |
