“Happiness is the meaning and purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.”

“He is my fate. He's my soul mate. He pervades my whole existence. So, of course, I often ignore him.”

“I grasped two things: I wasn't as happy as I could be, and my life wasnt going to change unless I made it change.”

“One of the best ways to make yourself happy is to make other people happy. One of the best ways to make other people happy is to be happy yourself.”

“To eke out the most happiness from an experience, we must anticipate it, savor it as it unfolds, express happiness, and recall a happy memory.”

“Studies show that in a phenomenon called "emotional contagion," we unconsciously catch emotions from other people--whether good moods or bad ones. Taking the time to be silly means that we're infecting one another with good cheer, and people who enjoy silliness are one third more likely to be happy.”

“In fact, in what’s known as “rosy prospection,” anticipation of happiness is sometimes greater than the happiness actually experienced.”
