We all ask the same question and pursue the same goal. We all want to be happy, we all work and earn money to live and in the end to be happy.

So what is happiness?

It’s not possible to give a specific definition but in general psychologists call happiness as  a mental or emotional state of well-being defined by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. Than comes a bigger question; what is well being?

In their inspiring and intriguing study, two Nobel Economy Prize winners Daniel Kahneman and Angus Deaton argues that recent research begun to distinguish two aspects of well-being. Emotional well-being refers to the emotional quality of an individual’s everyday experience the frequency and intensity of experiences of joy, stress, sadness, anger, and affection that make one’s life pleasant or unpleasant. Life evaluation refers to the thoughts that people have about their life when they think about it.

To understand our existence and its grounds we should keep asking why. When this question becomes a silent habit, interpenetrates our way of thinking it will show us the ways of connecting our behaviours and finding answers to our reactions. Our roots takes us millions of years from now. All the answers we have today about life and universe show their gratitude to one simple question; Why? Now it is time for you to begin asking yourself: Why?
