Positive psychology, a field about 20 years old, has been dedicated to studying the empirical support for what leads to a happy life and how it affects success. Research has shown that happier people tend to be kinder, friendlier, and more generous, donating more time, money, and resources. This altruism and kindness can lead to a more peaceful and loving world. Additionally, happiness has been linked to increased success in life. As a positive psychology expert, I have found that happier people are generally better individuals, and happiness is our true nature. It's also been proven that being present in the moment makes it easier to be happy, while distractions can make it feel impossible to be happy. Therefore, there are indeed scientific reasons to strive for happiness in our lives and to foster it in the world.
