“Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself
in your way of thinking.”
 (Marcus Aurelius)

"Research in the field of positive psychology and happiness often
define a happy person as someone who experiences frequent
positive emotions, such as joy, interest, and pride, and infrequent
(though not absent) negative emotions, such as sadness, anxiety
and anger.
Happiness overall it has to do with the positive experience
of emotions."
(Rubin Khoddam - Psychology Today)
*****
Did you know, however, that happiness is an emotion known to all
societies across the world that, contrary to popular belief, is not
 necessarily a "private"  but rather a cultural matter?

People in
individualistic
cultures (typically
Western societies)
appear to be
happier than those
in collectivist
cultures
Focus is on
personal priorities
and self-realization.
People emphasize
individual
freedom and
achievements
Work is often seen
as a key factor to
happiness in terms
of pleasant feelings,
satisfying judgments,
self-validation
Happiness is
reserved for those
who are successful
or perceive themselves
as such
Maria Antonietta Marino - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariaantoniettamarino/
People in collectivist
cultures (typically Eastern
societies) tend to regard
community and tradition as
a source of happiness, 
associated with social
bonds and social
responsibility
Happiness
is a result of interpersonal
harmony, of opportunities
to contribute to the
collective good, since
collectivism  revolves mainly
around  honor  and  
public  reputation
In collectivist
cultures work is seen as a
key factor to happiness in
terms of fulfillment  of an
expected social role. One's
role in the community is
more important than
personal joy
Defining one’s
identity in terms of one’s
public roles and reputation
is typical of collectivist
cultures, where social
relationships are more
stable
