In particular, I have advocated that people act as happy as possible even when they do not feel happy.

In fact, psychologist Daniel Gilbert has made a career out of demonstrating that human beings are downright awful at predicting their own likes and dislikes. For example, most research subjects strongly believe that another $30,000 a year in income would make them much happier. And they feel equally strongly that adding a 30-minute walk to their daily routine would be of trivial import. And yet Dr. Gilbert’s research suggests that the added income is far less likely to produce an increase in happiness than the addition of a regular walk.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Kerry Patterson" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/kerry-patterson/the-average-human-being-is-actually-quite-bad-at-predicting-what-he/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a8e/kerry-patterson-29360_happier_the-average-human-being-is-actually-quit_2628611.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a8e/kerry-patterson-29360_happier_the-average-human-being-is-actually-quit_2628611.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a8e/kerry-patterson-29360_happier_the-average-human-being-is-actually-quit_2628611.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“The average human being is actually quite bad at predicting what he or she should do in order to be happier…” — Kerry Patterson", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 20, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "If we want to increase our own happiness, we need to invest in growing the community happiness and also take care of the whole, of Mother Earth.", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Guilherme Leal" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/guilherme-leal/if-we-want-to-increase-our-own-happiness-we-need-to-invest-in-growing/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/04b/guilherme-leal-38204_community_if-we-want-to-increase-our-own-happiness_2249801.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/04b/guilherme-leal-38204_community_if-we-want-to-increase-our-own-happiness_2249801.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/04b/guilherme-leal-38204_community_if-we-want-to-increase-our-own-happiness_2249801.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“If we want to increase our own happiness, we need to invest in growing the community happiness and also take…” — Guilherme Leal", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/increase-happiness/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/increase-happiness/", "name": "Increase Happiness Quotes", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/increase-happiness/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/229/shawn-achor-6891_always_not-every-vacation-is-equal-and-theory-t_2828107.png" }, "description": "Browse 20 Increase Happiness quotes by 20 authors.
