Being obsessed with happiness can make us unhappy. Joy doesn't arise from ruminating about our emotions. It comes from immersing ourselves in worthwhile experiences. Happiness is not a goal to pursue. It's a byproduct of leading a life of meaning and engagement. Trevor Noah

@Trevornoah You are happy when you do something you are so passionate about that you have no time to wonder whether you are happy or not.

@Trevornoah Absolutely, it's about finding fulfillment in meaningful moments rather than chasing an elusive state of constant happiness. Well said!

@Trevornoah “Happiness is not a function of what you achieve. It’s a function of how you spend your time. Success is a temporary thrill. Happiness resides in doing daily activities that bring you #JOY.” Adam Grant #happiness #success #meaning

@Trevornoah I disagree and I disagree with most commenters here. I was already unhappy as a child and after 40 years I came to the conclusion that it is unethical to let happiness be an ephemeral, secondary, coincidental quality. Let's not mystify it but understand it and make more of it.

@Trevornoah Chasing happiness like a goal can be a trap—true joy comes from living meaningfully and engaging fully in life’s experiences.

@markhenick @Trevornoah What would be the effect of being thankful for each meal. Being grateful 3 to five times a day would make most of us mindful. They used to call it grace.

@Trevornoah could be a moment of meaning and engagement as well. wouldn't want to wait a whole lifetime (but I'm sure that's not what you meant)

Addressing the over 1,000,000 young people at Mass this morning in English, Pope Leo XIV tells them: “There is a burning question in our hearts, a need for truth that we cannot ignore, which leads us to ask ourselves, what is true happiness? What is the true meaning of life? What can free us from being trapped in meaninglessness boredom and mediocrity?”

The Scott Formula for Happiness: 80% Meaning + 20% Pleasure Pursuing Happiness won't make you happy, because Happiness isn't a thing. You can pursue Meaning and Pleasure, and end up happy, but it's important to get the mixture right. Scott Adams

3/ Real happiness comes from purpose. Teens who wanted to make a difference stayed happier through life. It's not money or fame. It’s contributing to something bigger than yourself. Purpose is happiness fuel.

Harvard Professor Arthur Brooks drops a happiness bombshell: Happiness isn’t a fleeting feeling—it's a skill you can build like muscle. Most people chase pleasure and think that's happiness. Wrong. Brooks breaks it down with science: - Happiness = Enjoyment (pleasure + memory + people) - Satisfaction (joy from hard-won struggle) - Meaning (your life coheres, has purpose, matters) Twin studies show ~50% of happiness is genetic (your mom literally influenced your baseline). Circumstances add ~25% (money, job, etc.)—but it's temporary. The game-changer? The remaining 25% is under your direct control through daily habits. His four non-negotiable "happiness pension plan" deposits every day: - Faith - Family - Friendship - Work (meaningful effort) Cultivate these four consistently—and you systematically raise your happiness setpoint. In a world obsessed with quick dopamine hits, Brooks says real joy comes from investing in what lasts. Which of these four do you already prioritize—and which one needs more daily deposits?

How do you achieve happiness, according to Aristotle? In his Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle defines happiness as the “activity of the soul in accordance with virtue.” It’s not a prize to be won, but a way of living. A great example comes from the world of sports. A skilled athlete doesn’t just sit around feeling happy. His joy comes from being in motion — training, competing, improving, and fully engaging in his craft. Eudaimonia comes about the same way: by actively cultivating your best qualities, not just passively enjoying comforts.

#WATCH | Mumbai | On Finland been ranked among the happiest countries in the world, President Alexander Stubb says," I think happiness is probably quite a subjective feeling and very personal. I think happiness actually comes from meaning that at the end of the day you live a meaningful life, and meaning usually comes from helping someone else. That's when you end up being quite happy. There's no magic potion for happiness, but probably basic needs is a good starting place, a welfare state and equal distribution of wealth, education and I think for us, Finns, it's a lot about nature. Remember, we have over 100,000 lakes. We have a vast archipelago, 180,000 islands, and we are over 70% forest. So nature is a big thing. So happiness is subjective, and you can't impose it on anyone except by helping. And what we can learn from India is optimism. So we have kind of the happiest country and the most optimistic country. And I think the world would be a great place if all all of us were as optimistic and happy as the Finns and the Indians. That's what we can learn from each other."

This is a Moebius baby boy. This means that he was born with facial paralysis, so he is unable to show the emotions of a normal baby. He can still feel joy and happiness—it just won’t show through facial expressions. What a cutie, though, and look at those eyelashes. A blessing from God!! 🙏🏼🥰
