"The world's leading happiness researcher, Barbara Fredrickson, says the 10 most positive emotions that combine to create the emotion we call happiness are joy, gratitude, serenity, interest, hope, pride, amusement, inspiration, awe, and love… Research has shown that only 10 percent of our overall happiness depends on external things, whether that's a new car, a relationship, or alcohol. Things don't make us happy. Ninety percent depends on our internal environment. How relaxed are we? How confident? How peaceful?"
