What does it mean to be happy?
Social scientists like me think about happiness as having two parts: being happy IN your life and being happy WITH your life. The first part of happiness involves having positive emotions—you're supposed to feel good in your day-to-day. The second part of happiness is cognitive—you need to think your life is going well. — Laurie Santos
