happiness theory

Happiness theory explores what makes people feel happy and fulfilled. It examines factors like relationships, achievements, and personal values that contribute to overall well-being. Key concepts include subjective well-being, which focuses on an individual's self-reported happiness, and eudaimonia, emphasizing living a meaningful life. Theories suggest that happiness can be influenced by both external conditions (like social support and financial stability) and internal processes (like mindset and gratitude). By studying these elements, researchers aim to understand how to enhance happiness in individuals and societies.
