Happiness is not just absence of sadness. For centuries, the science of psychology has been focusing mostly on the negative aspects of human existence — investigating what were the things that were “wrong” with us — and trying to relieve us from our sufferings, as depression, trauma, and addictions. And all that happened despite the fact that happiness is not merely getting over our sadness.
