The How Of Happiness
How to be Happy: The simple secrets are People and Purpose
More than a thousand years ago, the ruler Spain,Abd Er-Rahman III, wrote these words
“I have now reigned about 50 years in victory or peace, beloved by my subjects, dreaded by my enemies, and respected by my allies. Riches and honors, power and pleasure, have waited on my call, nor does any earthly blessing appear to have been wanting to my felicity. In this situation, I have diligently numbered the days of pure and genuine happiness which have fallen to my lot. They amount to fourteen.”
Here’s a challenging question for you:
Are you happy?
Perhaps you’ve been asked this question before. The person who asked may have meant something specific: ‘are you happy in your new job?’, ‘are you happy with your new home?’, or ‘are you happy about your new car?’ You probably answered politely ‘oh, yes, I’m very happy!’ Well, there have been times when I forgot about answering politely for a moment and really thought about the question – the big question! I imagine that a kind of blank far away look came over my face as I began to ponder the many layers of ‘are you happy?’
What is happiness?
Is it the same as joy or pleasure or satisfaction or contentment?
Am I feeling it right now?
Do I have to feel happy to be happy?
Is it important to be happy?
Should happiness be the aim of my life?
And since – like Abd Er-Rahman III – I don’t feel joyful at every moment of every day, the question also sets me wondering about what I might be missing. Could I be happier? Should I be happier? How? What is keeping me from being happier?
One thing we should probably clear up at the very start is what we mean happiness. Talking with a few people, I discussed my plan to start a programme which to be called ‘happiness class.’ The reaction was not positive. Everyone liked the idea of the programme – teaching and using spiritual practice to cultivate compassion, gratitude, mindfulness, and self-acceptance – but they didn’t like the name at all. To their ears, ‘Happiness Class’ immediately made them think ‘happy clappy.’
Do you know the expression? It refers to a certain style of exuberant Christian worship that involves a lot of lively singing and clapping and a kind of theology that I will – perhaps unfairly – characterise with the simple phrase: ‘love Jesus and everything will be OK.’
The negative sense of ‘happy clappy’, I think, comes from the belief that this is a shallow and simplistic kind of religious thought. I don’t disagree. There is also the sense that happiness can be seen as a superficial thing that is put on like a garment, but that has relatively little to do with our deeper reality.
This is not what I mean by happiness – at least not the kind that is worthwhile goal.
So, if happiness is something other than the fleeting superficial feeling of pleasure we sometimes think of, what is it?
George Santayana said this:
“A string of excited, fugitive, miscellaneous pleasures is not happiness;
happiness resides in imaginative reflection and judgment, when the picture of one’s life, or of human life, as it truly has been or is, satisfies the will, and is gladly accepted.”
This is a notion of happiness that refers not to moments of pleasure but to a quality of a whole life. Happiness is that which makes life good – especially in the knowledge that life is marked not just by joy but by suffering and pain as well. This is also what Aristotle meant by happiness when he called happiness “…the whole aim and end of human existence.” Not the momentary thrill of a purchase or a sensation, but the deep sense of living a good life.
When we understand happiness in this deeper way, it begins to look more like a worthwhile goal for our lives than do the shallower more hedonistic versions. Acting to maximize the happiness of ourselves and others does not seem like a bad idea at all. Indeed, this was the core idea of the Utilitarian philosophers. As Jeremy Bentham put it, “The greatest happiness of the greatest number is the foundation of morals and legislation.”
Of course, some would disagree with placing such an emphasis on happiness. We are certainly aware of belief systems that place a strong emphasis on self-denial and sacrifice – that suffering altruistically is truly the good life and that happiness is not a worthy goal. To be fair though, often the motivation for such behaviour is happiness anyway – albeit in a world to come. So even there, we have a recognition of the centrality of happiness to the human experience.
Now, where does happiness come from? How do we attain it?
Well, there are an awful lot of notions about this. Of course, companies are spending billions of pounds each year to convince us that happiness comes from purchasing their goods or services. And there is a strong message in our culture telling us that happiness goes hand in hand with wealth. Money, beauty, stuff, love… It’s all supposed to be a package that we should be reaching for. Does it bring happiness?
Many wise people have weighed in on the question of what causes happiness. In profound and compelling words we are offered a wide variety of advice. I find much of this advice to have the ring of truth. It’s just too bad that so much of it is contradictory!
Some words of wisdom claim that happiness is an option we can take – that we choose whether or not to be happy. At the opposite end of the spectrum, though, it is claimed that happiness is determined by our upbringing and genetics – that there is almost nothing we can do to change our happiness now.
We are told that happiness arises from doing: that it comes from satisfying work, from achievement, or fidelity to a worthy purpose. We are also told that it comes from a way of being – from wisdom, from purity of mind, or for the Buddhists, through extinguishing of craving or attachment.
We are told that happiness comes from our relations with others: from having family, from the exercise of compassion or from helping or giving happiness to others. And then we are told that happiness arises from independence.
What a muddle!
Fortunately, happiness has over the past several years become a serious subject of psychological research. We actually know quite a bit now about what actually produces happiness.
One very important finding of the scientific studies: money doesn’t make you happy! Once our basic needs are met, people with more money are no happier than people with less. The British people are three times wealthier than they were in the 1950s, but are significantly less happy now than then!
And maybe people are beginning to recognize the lack of a connection between income and satisfaction: in a recent opinion poll, people were asked whether the government’s prime objective should be the greatest happiness or the greatest wealth. An overwhelming fraction – over 80% – chose happiness over money!
What else doesn’t matter besides money? We might expect that smarter or more informed people are happier. They’re not. Education and intelligence have no correlation with happiness.
Certainly in our increasingly youth-oriented culture, the young must be happier than the old, right? Nope! Older people are actually more satisfied with their lives. Good weather? Not at all! People who live in sunnier places are no happier than those who live with rain and cold.
What does matter then?
In short, two things rise to the top of the list: People and purpose.
If you have strong ties to family and friends you are more likely to be happy. And you are more likely to be happy if you are engaged in purposeful activity – something that provides meaning to your life and that engages and interests you deeply.
What about the pessimistic notion I mentioned earlier that your level of happiness is determined by your genetics and your upbringing? If true, this would seem to make it not worth trying to be any happier. The news is mixed. There are some very good reasons to believe that genes and our childhoods do give us a certain happiness set point. For most people, joyous or sorrowful events move us away from that happiness level, but only temporarily. Eventually – even with extremely positive or negative life events – we tend to return to the set-point.
But the good news is that there is also very strong evidence that the set-point can be altered. It takes effort. There are no simple solutions. No seminar or tape or DVD or workshop is going to make a sad person into a happy one overnight. The keys are the same two factors I mentioned a moment ago: people and purpose. Becoming more engaged in meaningful activity and making and strengthening human ties do make us happier. Helping others makes us happier. Connecting with others makes us happier. And bringing meaning to life through cultivation of gratitude makes us happier.
Let’s stop here for a moment and review… We want to be happy and we know that money and things don’t help us to reach that goal. What does help us reach that goal is to find meaningful activity to engage in and people with whom to connect. Cultivating gratitude and helping others are found to be powerful ways of increasing our happiness.
Does this sound at all familiar? Purpose, commitment, compassion, community, gratitude… If religion didn’t already exist, we would have to invent it!
And this supposition is not just the wishful thinking of a dedicated and passionate minister. It is backed up by numerous studies. People who participate in a religious community are found to be happier – significantly happier – than people who don’t. And not only that, this happiness shows up in some very important ways. Religious people have lower rates of depression, drug and alcohol abuse, and suicide. They even have lower blood pressure!
There is something wonderful in the understanding that is developing of the way happiness arises. In his book, Ethics for a New Millenium, HH The Dalai Lama writes:
“our greatest joy should come when we are motivated by concern for others. […] not only do altruistic actions bring about happiness but they also lessen our experience of suffering. [...] In our concern for others, we worry less about ourselves. When we worry less about ourselves an experience of our own suffering is less intense. [...] genuine happiness consists in those spiritual qualities of love, compassion, patience, tolerance and forgiveness and so on.”
The very actions that we can do to make others happy make us happy as well. We attend both to our own and others’ happiness when we commit to helping, to building meaningful relationships, and when we engage in activity that is deeply meaningful.
How could such a happy situation come about? Some might call it a divine plan: a loving and purposeful God created us in such a way that our own happiness is tied to that of others. Others might see the work of evolution here – the most successful individuals were the ones who worked well with others and bonded with them and so finding satisfaction from such behaviour was advantageous. Still others could say it’s simply luck that brought us to this situation.
No matter how it came to pass, there is great hope to be found in this understanding. To find that our individual happiness is tied to the happiness of others is to see ever more clearly that we are all, as Martin Luther King put it, ‘tied in a single garment of destiny’. As a society, we seem to have forgotten this truth – a truth that can be found in various forms within nearly all religious traditions. But we can recover it and here is as good a place to start as any.
And so, I ask again ‘Are you happy?’
Robert Louis Stevenson tells us ‘There is no duty we so underrate as the duty of being happy. By being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world.’

Happiness $3.95 Why would there be a contract out on Edwin de Valu’s life? Edwin — the wiry low-level editor at Panderic Press. Why has rage disappeared from the roads and McDonald’s gone alfalfa? How come everyone seems so damn happy? And most importantly, who, or what, is Tupak Soiree? When an enormous self-help manuscript lands on Edwin’s desk, it’s headed for the trash. Edwin’s cynicism of self-help books, coupled with his filthy mood that morning, results in him dismissing Tupak Soiree’s What I Learned on the Mountain and using it as a doorstop. However, Tupak’s manuscript is unique — a self-help book that actually works. Before Edwin knows it, a chain of events begins that affects not only his own life but the world at large. For those who choke on Chicken Soup for the Soul or have choice words for Dr. Phil, Will Ferguson offers up a killer dose of "Happiness(TM)" — a masterpiece of comic fiction. |

Against Happiness $9.29 Americans are addicted to happiness. When we’re not popping pills, we leaf through scientific studies that take for granted our quest for happiness, or read self-help books by everyone from armchair philosophers and clinical psychologists to the Dalai Lama on how to achieve a trouble-free life: Stumbling on Happiness ; Authentic Happiness: Using the New Positive Psychology to Realize Your Potential for Lasting Fulfillment ; The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living. The titles themselves draw a stark portrait of the war on melancholy. More than any other generation, Americans of today believe in the transformative power of positive thinking. But who says we’re supposed to be happy? Where does it say that in the Bible, or in the Constitution? In Against Happiness , the scholar Eric G. Wilson argues that melancholia is necessary to any thriving culture, that it is the muse of great literature, painting, music, and innovation and that it is the force underlying original insights. Francisco Goya, Emily Dickinson, Marcel Proust, and Abraham Lincoln were all confirmed melancholics. So enough Prozac-ing of our brains. Let’s embrace our depressive sides as the wellspring of creativity. What most people take for contentment, Wilson argues, is living death, and what the majority takes for depression is a vital force. In Against Happiness: In Praise of Melancholy, Wilson suggests it would be better to relish the blues that make humans people. |

The Psychology of Happiness $19.74 What is happiness? Why are some people happier than others? This new edition of The Psychology of Happiness provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of research into the nature of happiness. Major research developments have occurred since publication of the first edition in 1987 – here they are brought together for the first time, often with surprising conclusions. Drawing on research from the disciplines of sociology, physiology and economics as well as psychology, Michael Argyle explores the nature of positive and negative emotions, and the psychological and cognitive processes involved in their generation. Accessible and wide-ranging coverage is provided on key issues such as: the measurements and study of happiness, mental and physical health; the effect of friendship, marriage and other relationships on positive moods; happiness, mental and physical health; the effects of work, employment and leisure; and the effects of money, class and education. The importance of individual personality traits such as optimism, purpose in life, internal control and having the right kind of goals is also analysed. New to this edition is additional material on national differences, the role of humour, and the effect of religion. Are some countries happier than others? This is just one of the controversial issues addressed by the author along the way. Finally the book discusses the practical application of research in this area, such as how happiness can be enhanced, and the effects of happiness on health, altruism and sociability. This definitive and thought-provoking work will be compulsive reading for students, researchers and the interested general reader |

Happiness: A History $16.28 Darrin M. McMahon’s sweeping new book, chronicling the evolution of happiness over two thousand years of Western culture and thought, argues that our modern belief in happiness — that happiness is a natural right — is a relatively recent development. It is a product of a dramatic revolution in human expectations carried out since the eighteenth century. Central to the development of Christianity, ideas of happiness assumed their modern form during the Enlightenment, when men and women were first introduced to the novel prospect that they could — in fact should — be happy in this life as opposed to the hereafter. Ultimately, the Enlightenment’s recognition of happiness as a motivating ideal led to its consecration in the Declaration of Independence and France’s Declaration of the Rights of Man. McMahon follows this great pursuit through to the present day, showing how our modern search for happiness continues to generate new forms of pleasure, but also, paradoxically, new forms of pain. In the tradition of works by Peter Gay and Simon Schama, "Happiness" draws on numerous sources, including art and architecture, poetry and scripture, music and theology, literature and myth to offer a sweeping intellectual history of man’s most elusive yet coveted goal. |
