(CNN)Happiness -- you know it when you see it, but it's hard to define.
You might call it a sense of well-being, of optimism or of meaningfulness in life, although those could also be treated as separate entities. But whatever happiness is, we know that we want it, and that is just somehow good.
We also know that we don't always have control over our happiness. Research suggests that genetics may play a big role in our normal level of subjective well-being, so some of us may start out at a disadvantage. On top of that, between unexpected tragedies and daily habitual stress, environmental factors can bring down mood and dry up our thirst for living. Being able to manage the emotional ups and downs is important for both body and mind, said Laura Kubzansky, professor of social and behavioral sciences at Harvard School of Public Health.
"For physical health, it's not so much happiness per se, but this ability to regulate and have a sense of purpose and meaning," Kubzansky said.
Why be happy?
Many scientific studies, including some by Kubzansky, have found a connection between psychological and physical well-being.
A 2012 review of more than 200 studies found a connection between positive psychological attributes, such as happiness, optimism and life satisfaction, and a lowered risk of cardiovascular disease. Kubzansky and other Harvard School of Public Health researchers published these findings in the journal Psychological Bulletin.
It's not as simple as "you must be happy to prevent heart attacks," of course. If you have a good sense of well-being, it's easier to maintain good habits: Exercising, eating a balanced diet and getting enough sleep, researchers said. People who have an optimistic mindset may be more likely to engage in healthy behaviors because they perceive them as helpful in achieving their goals, Kubzansky said.
Lower blood pressure, normal body weight and healthier blood fat profiles were also associated with a better sense of well-being in this study.
Why trying to make your kids happy can backfire
For now these studies can only show associations; they do not provide hard evidence of cause and effect. But some researchers speculate that positive mental states do have a direct effect on the body, perhaps by reducing
damaging physical processes. For instance, another of Kubzansky's studies found that optimism is associated with lower levels of inflammation.
If what you mean by happiness is specifically "enjoyment of life," there's newer evidence to support that, too. A study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal found that people ages 60 and older who said they enjoyed life less were more likely to develop disability over an eight-year period. Mobility was also related to enjoyment of life. This study does not prove that physical problems are caused by less enjoyment of life, but suggests a relationship.
Where happiness comes from: genes + environment
There is substantial evidence that genetics play a big role in happiness, according to Nancy Segal, psychologist at California State University, Fullerton, and author of "Born Together -- Reared Apart."
Research has shown that identical twins tend to have a similar level of happiness, more so than fraternal twins. And in identical twins, one twin's happiness is a better predictor of the other twin's current or future happiness than educational achievement or income, Segal said.
10 ways to get happy
"If you have happy parents and happy children, I think that people usually assume it's because the children are modeling the parents," she said. "But that's not really so. You need to make the point that parents pass on both genes and environments."
What's more, there seems to be a certain level of happiness that individuals have generally, to which they usually gravitate, Segal said. That level depends on the person, and the situations he or she is in.
Even if genetics has a big influence, though, that doesn't mean anyone is biologically stuck being unhappy, she said. It might take more work if your baseline mood is low, but certain therapies have proven useful for elevating psychological well-being.
The environment is still quite important for psychological well-being, too, Kubzansky said.
"To say to someone, 'Don't worry, be happy,' is kind of not looking at the whole picture of, what are the environmental constraints on things they can do?" Kubzansky said.
Loneliness: 5 things you may not know
Money and time
You might be thinking: "Maybe I would be happier if I had more money." There's that old cliché "money doesn't buy happiness" -- but is it true? A 2010 study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that emotional well-being rises with income up to a point, which seems to be a household income of $75,000. Day-to-day happiness did not increase with higher incomes.
But when participants were asked about overall satisfaction with their lives, that did continue to rise in conjunction with income, even after $75,000, Princeton University researchers Daniel Kahneman and Angus Deaton found. Their results show a sharp distinction between how people see themselves in terms of happiness "today" vs. life satisfaction.
"More money does not necessarily buy more happiness, but less money is associated with emotional pain," Kahneman and Deaton wrote. "Perhaps $75,000 is a threshold beyond which further increases in income no longer improve individuals' ability to do what matters most to their emotional
well-being, such as spending time with people they like, avoiding pain and disease, and enjoying leisure."
More on money (not) buying happiness
Would you be happier if you bought the car you always wanted? Several studies suggest experiences make us happier than possessions. That's partly because once you have purchased something, such as a new car, you get used to seeing it every day and the initial joy fades, experts say. But you can continue to derive happiness from memories of experiences over time. Experiences form "powerful and important memories that I wouldn't trade
for anything in the world," Thomas Gilovich, professor of psychology at Cornell University, told CNN in 2009.
But if you're in the market for a birthday present for your sweetheart, a material object can still be meaningful, becoming a keepsake with sentimental value that increases over time, Gilovich said.
Study: Experiences make us happier than possessions
Or maybe you'll be happier once you've lived longer. Research has also found that some sense of happiness may come with age.
Older adults may be able to better regulate their emotions than younger people, expose themselves to less stress and experience less negative emotion, Susan Turk Charles, a psychologist at the University of California, Irvine, told CNN in 2009. More science needs to be done on whether the diminished negative response is also associated with a feeling of happiness.
More happiness may come with age, studies say
Happiness: Living in the moment
But what about right now -- what can we do to make ourselves feel more positive?
If you're seeking to increase your own sense of happiness, try mindfulness techniques. Mindfulness means being present and in the moment, and observing in a nonjudgmental way, Susan Albers, psychologist at the Cleveland Clinic, told CNN in 2010.
Can mindfulness help manage pain and mental illness?
Mindfulness comes from Buddhism and is key to meditation in that tradition. Therapies for a wide variety of conditions, including eating disorders, depression and PTSD, incorporate mindfulness. Focusing on the here and now is a counterbalance to findings that mind-wandering is associated with unhappiness.
Activities such as keeping a gratitude diary and helping other people are also associated with feelings of well-being, Kubzansky said.
A variety of smartphone apps are also available that claim to help you monitor and enhance your moods. But don't feel you have to face emotional challenges alone; a professional therapist can help you get to where you want to be.
If a sense of well-being makes a healthier person, then policy-makers should also promote large-scale initiatives to encourage that, Kubzansky said. Creating parks to encourage exercise and insituting flexible work-family initiatives are just some of the ways that communities can become healthier as a whole.

（CNN）——幸福——你知道当你看到它，但它很难定义。
你可能称之为感福祉、乐观或意义在生活中，虽然那些也被视为单独的实体。但不论幸福是，我们知道，我们想要它，而这只是某种程度上是好事。
我们也知道我们总是不能控制我们的幸福。研究表明遗传学可能发挥很大的作用，在我们的主观幸福感的正常水平，所以有些人可能开始处于不利的地位。在此种情况下，意外的悲剧与日常习惯的压力，环境因素可以打倒的心情和干涸，我们对生活的渴望。
能够管理情绪跌宕起伏是重要的身体和心灵，说劳拉Kubzansky，社会和行为科学哈佛公共卫生学院教授。
"为了身体的健康，它不是这么多的幸福本身，但这种能力来调节和有意识的目的和意义，"Kubzansky 说。
为什么高兴吗？
许多科学研究，其中包括一些由Kubzansky，发现心理和生理上的福祉之间的连接。
超过200 个研究2012年审查发现积极的心理属性，如幸福、乐观、生活满意度和降低心血管疾病的风险之间的连接。Kubzansky 和其他哈佛公共卫生学院研究人员在心理学公报》中公布这些结果。
它当然不是像"你一定要幸福，防止心脏病发作，"那么简单。如果你有很强的福祉，很容易保持良好的习惯：锻炼、摄取均衡的饮食和充足的睡眠，研究者说。有一个乐观的心态的人可能更有可能从事健康的行为，因为他们将它们视为有助于实现其目标，Kubzansky 说。
降低血压、体重正常和健康的血液脂肪含量也是相关联的福祉在这项研究更好的理解。
为什么想要让你的孩子快乐，可能会适得其反
现在这些研究只能显示协会；它们不提供确凿的证据的原因及影响。但一些研究人员推测积极的心理状态没有直接影响身体，也许通过减少破坏的物理过程。例如，另一个Kubzansky 的研究发现乐观是与较低水平的炎症有关。
如果你所说的幸福是专门"享受生活"，还有新的证据来支持这一点，太。加拿大医学协会杂志》的一项研究发现，人们60 及以上的年龄，说他们享受生活更少，更容易在八年内患残疾。流动性也被涉及对生活享受。这项研究不能证明物理问题由少享受的生活，引起的但建议一种关系。
幸福来自哪里：基因+ 环境
根据在加利福尼亚州立大学、富勒顿和作者的"出生在一起——奉天分开。"的心理学家南希·西格尔，有确凿证据证明遗传学在幸福中，发挥了很大的作用
研究表明同卵双胞胎倾向于有类似水平的幸福，比异卵双胞胎更是如此。而在同卵双胞胎，孪生儿之一的幸福是对双胞胎的当前或未来的幸福比教育成就或收入，更能预示Segal 说。
得到快乐的10 种方法
"是否你有快乐的父母和快乐的孩子们，我认为人们通常认为这是因为孩子们正在建模的父母，"她说。"但这不是真的如此。你需要让父母传递基因和环境的一点"。
更重要的是，似乎有某种程度的幸福有个体来讲，他们通常被吸引，西格尔说。这一水平取决于人和他或她的情况。
即使遗传有很大的影响，不过，这并不意味着任何人生物学上卡住并不快乐，她说到。如果基线心情较低，但某些疗法已证明有用的升降的心理幸福感，它可能需要更多的工作。
环境仍是十分重要的心理幸福感的太，Kubzansky 说。
"要对一个人说'别担心，要开心，' 种不看全貌的环境的限制，他们可以做的事情是什么吗?"Kubzansky 说。
孤独：你可能不知道的5 件事
金钱和时间
您可能会想："也许我会更快乐如果我有更多的钱。"还有那句陈词滥调"金钱买不到幸福"——但是是真的吗？2010 年在美国国家科学院院刊》的研究发现，情绪化的福祉随着收入取决于一点，这似乎是75000 美元的家庭收入。日常幸福感并未增加与更高的收入。但当受访者被问及他们的生活的总体满意度，那没有继续上升连同收入，甚至后$75,000，Daniel Kahneman Angusdeaton，普林斯顿大学研究人员发现。他们的研究结果表明人们如何看待自己的幸福"今日"与生活满意度之间明显的差别。
"更多的钱不能买到更多的幸福，但是更少的钱是伴有情绪的疼痛，"卡尼曼和顿写道。"也许＄75000 是超过了收入的进一步增加不再提高个人的能力做什么事最情绪化的福祉的阈值，如多花时间与人他们喜欢，避免痛苦和疾病，并享受休闲。
更多的钱（不）买幸福
如果你买了辆的车，你总是想要你会更快乐吗？几项研究表明经历使我们更快乐比财产。这是部分因为一旦您购买了东西，如一辆新车，你会习惯于看到它，每天和最初的喜悦消逝，专家说。但是，您可以继续，幸福源于随着时间的推移经历的记忆。
经验形式"强大和重要的回忆，我不会为任何在世界贸易，"Thomas 基，康奈尔大学的心理学教授告诉CNN 说在2009 年。
但与其说，如果你在市场上的一份生日礼物送给你的情人，一个物质的对象仍然可以有意义，成为与随着时间推移，增加的情感价值的纪念品。
研究表明：经验使我们比财产更快乐
或者，也许你就会更快乐，一旦你已经活得更长。研究还发现有种幸福的感觉可能会随着年龄的增长。
年长的成年人可能能够更好地调节自己的情绪，比年轻一些的人，自己暴露在更少的压力和经验更少的消极情感，苏珊特克查尔斯，加利福尼亚大学欧文分校的心理学家在2009 年告诉CNN。更多的科学需要去做关于是否减少带来的负面效应也是关联与幸福的感觉。
研究说，更多的幸福会随着年龄的增长，
幸福：活在当下
但现在——怎么怎么样我们做来让自己感觉更积极吗？
如果你想增加你自己的快乐感，请尝试念技术。正念意味着目前和在的时刻，和观察以客观的方式，在克利夫兰诊所的心理学家苏珊·阿尔贝斯告诉CNN 说在2010 年。
正念可以帮助管理精神疾病和痛苦吗？
正念来自佛教，是这一传统的冥想的关键。种类繁多的条件，包括饮食失调、抑郁和创伤治疗纳入正念。专注于此时此地，现在是抵消了走神是与不幸的结果。
坚持写感恩日记，并帮助其他人的活动也是相关联的与幸福感，Kubzansky 说。
各种各样的智能手机应用程序也有那些声称可以帮助您监视和提高你的情绪。但是不要觉得你必须来情感独自面对挑战；专业的治疗师可以帮助你到达你想去的地方。
如果一种福祉让一个健康的人，然后决策者还应促进一项大型活动，鼓励，Kubzansky 说。灵活的工作-家庭倡议创建园区鼓励锻炼与insituting 都只是一些社区可以成为健康作为一个整体的方法。
所以请记住：杯子是半满可能比玻璃半杯空更健康。

happiness的英语演讲稿 篇一：HAPPINESS的英语演讲稿 the road to happiness good morning/afternoon distinguished judges and my fellow students. i am ..from..##. i am going to start my speech with a question. how can we harvest happiness? as for this question, most of you have thought about it incidentally or purposefully. while have you figured out the way? next, i will share my understanding of this question. for me, the road to happiness is the way to fight for my goals and desires. as a matter of fact, i have been on the road to happiness from the moment i was born. when i was 5, i racked my brains（绞尽脑汁） to get a barbie doll or a teddy bear. in order to get them, i was willing to attend the
piano class which actually was the last thing i wanted to do. however, on thinking of my little dolls, i forgot all the pains in the piano class. i deeply believed that i was realizing my happiness, and i was on the road to my happiness. when i was 10,i was fascinated by the title of no.1 which could bring me a huge sense of success. to be the no.1, i sacrificed my rest time to attend all kinds of training classes, and i saved my pocket money to afford reference books. these might sound painful for most 10 years old children. but as long as i achieved my goal, i thought i was on the road to happiness. when i was 15, i became an enthusiast of painting. i enjoyed the way to express myself by means of different colors.. with a strong desire to improve my painting
Unit 9 What Is Happiness? John Ciardi (abridged) The right to pursue happiness is issued to Americans with their birth certificates, but no one seems quite sure which way it runs. It may be we are issued a hunting license but offered no game. Jonathan Swift seemed to think so when he attacked the idea of happiness as “the possession of being well-deceived,” the felicity of being “a fool among knaves.” For Swift saw society as Vanity Fair, the land of false goals. It is, of course, un-American to think in terms of fools and knaves. We do, however, seem to be dedicated to the idea of buying our way to happiness. We shall all have made it to Heaven when we possess enough. And at the same time the forces of American commercialism are hugely dedicated to making us deliberately unhappy. Advertising is one of our major industries, and advertising exists not to satisfy desires but to create them —and to create them faster than any man’s budget can satisfy them. For that matter, our whole economy is base d on a dedicated insatiability. We are taught that to possess is to be happy, and then we are made to want. We are even told it is our duty to want. It was only a few years ago, to cite a single example, that car dealers across the country were flying banners that read "You Auto Buy Now." They were calling upon Americans, as an act approaching patriotism, to buy at once, with money they did not have, automobiles they did not really need, and which they would be required to grow tired of by the time the next year’s models were released. Or look at any of the women’s magazines. There, as Bernard DeVoto once pointed out, advertising begins as poetry in the front pages and ends as pharmacopoeia and therapy in the back pages. The poetry of the front matter is the dream of perfect beauty. This is the baby skin that must be hers. These, the flawless teeth. This, the perfumed breath she must exhale. This, the sixteen-year-old figure she must display at forty, at fifty, at sixty, and forever. Once past the vaguely uplifting fiction and feature articles, the reader finds the other face of the dream in the back matter. This is the harness into which Mother must strap herself in order to display that perfect figure. These, the chin straps she must sleep in. This is the salve that restores all, this is her laxative, these are the tablets that melt away fat, these are the hormones of perpetual youth, these are the stockings that hide varicose veins.
教师英语演讲稿：Happiness 教师英语演讲稿：Happiness As we all know, happiness is something that everyone is chasing. But, what is happiness? Does happiness have a universal definition? I say no. But there must be something in life that makes you realize what it means. When you are hungry, you have something to eat. Don’t you feel happy? When you’re in sick, there is a short message full of care and love from your friend. Don’t you feel happy? When you have each tiny wish come true, don’t you feel happy？I always try my best to find out what is the true meaning of happiness. And I think I have got lots of it from my career. Today, standing here, I’d like to share with you a little piece of my happiness from my school life. “Dear queen, how do you feel? Do we massage well?” Lee said softly around me. Of course, the “queen” was me. One day, our P.E teacher was out for business trip. So it was my duty to be the leader in this P.E class. After guiding students to play games for a long time. Everyone was tired. Then, one student lay down. Then, another…in a minute, all of the students lay down on the playground. It was so enjoyable for me to see such a great situation, as in the classroom our lovely guys always sit properly to show their poritive attitudes. The sun was shining. The wind was blowing. Smelling the faint smell of flowers, I couldn’t help closing my eyes and lying on my back. Suddently, a tiny hand touched my arm. “Queen, you must be tired after a day’s work. Right? I’m your faithful maid. Let me serve for y ou.” Then, the other students came over to sit and serve around me. Head, neck, leg. Wow, that was really a great happiness to have such an experience. Dear friends, everyday we have a lot of work to do. Everyday we have a lot of things to complain. But, just like Xiao Shenyang saying, “The eyes close and open - a day is over. The eyes close but never open , all life has gone.” Time is limited. Why can’t we focus on our lovely students and keep a happy mind in the school life? Just like me. Lie down and enjoy the happiness from my kids.

《happiness作文》 happiness作文（一）： Happiness What is happiness? Different people have different ideas。 Some people are rich; they think they are happy。 Other people have many friends， so they feel happy。 Still others are happy because their lives are meaningful。Happiness attracts(吸引) everyone。For children，happiness often suggests eating something good or playing with toys。 For a stamp collector，stamps bring more delight than meals。 And for a scientist， a discovery or an invention rather than anything else gives him greatest satisfaction。 There was once a beggar who was always happy。 The king saw him and wondered why he was so happy because he was so poor。 However， the king could have whatever he wanted; yet he himself was not happy at all。 Thus we can see ones happiness doesnt depend on whether he is rich or poor。Happiness is a state of mind。 As long as one thinks hes content and satisfied， he is happy。 As everything exist only because its opposite(对立的)， happiness exists only when pain exists。 Just as a person who does not know failure never knows success， a person， who has not experienced suffering or sadness never knows what happiness means。 Happiness always promises (允诺) a hope by which people go on living。When they e to the point of losing hope because they have suffered a great deal， it is often the time when happiness es that will give them the courage and desire(渴望) to live。 Cheer up and be happy。 Happiness is not far from you。 Its just around you。 Try to grasp(抓牢) it and enjoy it。 happiness作文（二）： Happiness is the most precious thing in the world， which can be obtained in different ways。 From my point of view， being in a good mood anytime and anywhere is the first thing for those who want to be happy。 There is an old saying going like this， happy is he who is content。 I can't agree with it any more。 I still remember a story my mother told me when I was a child。 A millionaire tried every means to seek after pleasure but to feel unhappy。

三分钟英语演讲：My happiness in NKU 张家玮 三分钟演讲，很短。 Good evening, everyone! It’s a great honor for me to stand here on this special occasion to deliver a speech. Today I’d like to talk about my happiness in Nankai University. I have a senior high school classmate now majoring in economy and finance in Hong Kong University. The other day she asked me the reason why all her friends in Nankai feel extremely proud of this university while those in other schools don’t have such strong passion. I couldn’t tell the concrete reasons, but I did think a lot. To be honest, I felt more than lucky to be admitted by School of Finance in Nankai, for I didn’t do well in the national entrance examination. I lost more than 40 points in physics, which got me the lowest grades and ranks throughout my senior high school life. To my relief, I don’t have to study physics in the following four years, which is definitely an extra bonus. The first day I got here I was warmly welcomed by the whole school. As time went by, I became increasingly busy. But
Happiness First, Money Later We live in a success and money driven culture. If you doubt the truthfulness of that cliché, I’ll refer you to competitive reality TV, your office, the lottery, and just about any marketing or money-based blog on the web. F rom the first day that we understand its power, we’re made to believe that money is the end-all of human happiness and achievement. Unfortunately for young professionals with big career ambitions, the mantra of “more money means the good life” leads to more sorrow than it does to happiness. No Regrets The sad truth is that young professionals who aspire to monetary success (and who doesn’t?) often make comprises in all other aspects of their life in order to make the big bucks. Our society almost encourages the sacrifice of personal happiness for the sake of material success. But what is success if it can’t be shared or appreciated among loved ones? What is a life’s worth of work if you don’t take a moment to stop and enjoy it? The Guardian recently published a compelling piece about the five biggest regrets of people about to meet their maker. The author explains that most people regret that they didn’t lead the life they wanted to lead, or they regret that they worked too hard in life at the expense of those they loved. It’s a revealing story that drives home the need for many
Happiness is the most precious thing in the world, which can be obtained in different ways. From my point of view, being in a good mood anytime and anywhere is the first thing for those who want to be happy. There is an old saying going like this, "happy is he who is content." I can't agree with it any more. I still remember a story my mother told me when I was a child. A millionaire tried every means to seek after pleasure but to feel unhappy. It's not unique, but has its counterpart that poor men to whose name not having a thing always feel happy. Why are they so different? The answer is that the rich is being thinking how he can gain more while the poor is satisfied with what he owns at hand-health, freedom, love and so on. Furthermore, love makes great difference to happiness. If you have love in your heart, you will have happiness in your life. Love consists of two parts, one is to love others, and the other is to be loved by others. Lei Feng set a good example for all of us. He served the people wholeheartedly until the last minute of his life. He regarded serving the people as the happiest thing. There are numbers of similar inspirational stories to be found. In addition, being loved by others can also lead you t o happiness. Courage from your parents when frustrated, care from your lover when ill, help from your friends when in trouble… all of these will make you the happiest person in the world. The last but not least is to act happily. Putting on a happy face and thinking interesting things are helpful to trigger happy feelings. Wile happiness is precious, it is easy to get. Happiness What is happiness? Different people have different ideas. Some people are rich; they think they are happy. Other people have many friends, so they feel happy. Still others are happy because their lives are meaningful. Happiness attracts(吸引) everyone. For children, happiness often suggests eating something good or playing with toys. For a stamp collector, stamps bring more delight than meals. And for a scientist, a discovery or an invention rather than anything else gives him greatest satisfaction. There was once a beggar who was always happy. The king saw him and wondered why he was so happy because he was so poor. However, the king could have whatever he wanted; yet h e himself was not happy at all. Thus we can see one’s happiness doesn’t depend on whether he is rich or poor. Happiness is a state of mind. As long as one thinks he’s content and satisfied, he is happy. As everything exist only because its opposite(对立的), happiness exists only when pain exists. Just as a person who does not know failure never knows success, a person, who has not experienced suffering or sadness never knows what happiness means. Happiness always promises (允诺) a hope by which people go on living. When they come to the point of losing hope because they have suffered a great deal, it is often the time when happiness comes that will give them the courage and desire(渴望) to live. Cheer up and be happy. Happiness is not far from you. It’s just around you. Try to grasp(抓牢) it and enjoy it. Happiness Happiness means different things to different people. For example, some students believe that if they have much money or a large number of possessions, they will be happy. They believe that they will be able to do anything they want to if they have money. Some students think that they should be in good health, and enjoy whatever they like. Many students wish to have much wealth from their parents. In this way they don’t have to work hard, and they can have everything. I don’t agree with the above points. We can’t buy many important things with money, such as health, happiness and knowledge. I value knowledge, which makes me happy, for I can do much for mankind with knowledge. Although different people value happiness differently, my “wealth” of happiness is in my study Freedom in my Dream As the whole world has its boundaries, limits and freedom coexist in our life. I don’t expect complete freedom, which is impossible. I simply have a dream that supports my life. I dream that one day, I could escape from the deep sea of thick schoolbooks and lead my own life. With my favorite fictions, I lie freely on the green grass, smelling the spring, listening to the wind singing, breathing the fresh and cool air and
