Your Average Happiness

A researcher of happiness in measures, Michael W. Fordyce, in 1978 had founded that personal happiness is held to be the most important goal in each individual's life. Back during this time, there were tests that can be done to identify how happy people are. Similarly, today, Mark Holder, a happiness doctor, has studied happiness through various different attempts. He began a biological approach and ended with a behavioral approach. With the behavioral method, it is more simple to tell. The studies found that behaviors such as smiling and laughing often are the happier people. It was also studied that results found Hawaii to be the happiest state, and Louisiana to be the least happy. "When hundreds of tweets are analyzed, researchers find that Mondays are linked to low levels of happiness, and daylight saving time results in a happiness boost", Holder explains. Although this information was posted in May, 2017, it was the average outcome and must remain the same.
