The Happiness Equation

The deep mysteries of life are often simple but difficult to navigate and put into action in our day-to-day life. The intent of this post is to simplify the complex equation of happiness.

Happiness is often seen as a destination, something to be achieved after we get that promotion, buy that house, or find that perfect partner. But research and ancient wisdom tell us a different story.

Happiness is the Advantage

We often think Success -> Happiness. But the equation is actually Happiness -> Success. When we are happy, our brains operate at peak potential. We are more creative, resilient, and productive.

The Daily Practice

Happiness is a muscle that needs to be exercised. Gratitude, mindfulness, and social connection are the gym for this muscle.
