Happiness Defined by Science and Bible
Happiness is a complex psychological state involving enjoyment, purpose, and satisfaction, not a fleeting feeling to pursuit. Research shows happiness is a pursuit, not a destination, requiring an orientation towards elements that bring joy. Pursuing little increments of happiness rather than an unattainable whole is emphasized for true contentment. The metaphor of sizzle versus stake highlights the depth needed for lasting happiness beyond surface-level dopamine hits, encompassing life's challenges into a content and joyful existence.
