Seven simple ways to become happier

Judging by the latest surveys, there are a lot of happy people in Russia - about 85%, according to VTsIOM . True, foreign researchers evaluate the level of happiness of Russians not so high. According to the World Happiness Report , Russia in this indicator takes 49th place out of 155. This rating takes into account the share of GDP per capita, the standard of social security, life expectancy, freedom of choice and other indicators. You can argue whether the achievement of personal happiness is considered the meaning of life or its pleasant by -product, but the desire for it is an innate line of a person. Republic studied what tips to achieve happiness are given by psychologists, scientists, entrepreneurs and just people who consider themselves happy.

Determine what happiness and success are

The universal formula of happiness does not exist: in the world there are no two identical people, so it is strange that someone except the person can install the bar for happiness. The “standards” of happiness adopted in society cannot suit everyone. Having any goal, it should be understood that its achievement will certainly go to the detriment of something else-it is impossible to have time for everything in the world, so it makes no sense to try to keep up with everything, it is better to focus on what will make you happy.

Numerous studies show that happy people are not the most successful, richest or most beautiful. These are those who do something to become happy. There is no need to wait for happiness to suddenly fall on us - you need to either find it in what is already there, or create it for yourself.

Devote 100% of effort to make you happy. According to the business consultant and the teacher of business management at the Harvard Business School of Claiton Kristensen, to devote ourselves to a business 100% easier than 98%, because in this case we rely less on external circumstances. Also, 98%, most likely, will turn into 95%, 90%and so on over time.
