Happiness is...

Happiness is a mental and emotional state of well-being of a person. Sometimes, the happiness can be a person get their internet in Pacific American School, or a simple happiness can just be getting a kiss from your lover. To me, the most important thing that will make me happy, is to receive a gift from the person you love. Psychologist Ed Diener, author of Happiness: Unlocking the Mysteries of Psychological Wealth, describe that happiness is a combination of life satisfaction and having more positive emotions than negative emotions. Also, Martin Seligman, who is the author of Authentic Happiness, state that happiness have three parts: pleasure, engagement, and meaning. Pleasure is the feel good part of happiness, and engagement refers to living a good life of work, family, friends, and hobbies. Meaning refers to using our strengths to contribute to a larger purpose. Two psychologists above are correct, because most of our happiness comes for our life and we have good feelings when we have happiness.
