Welcome to your Happiness Quiz?
The pursuit of happiness - or more specifically ‘pleasure’ - is a very deep routed desire in all of us, even if we don’t consciously acknowledge that’s what driving our behaviour. If you really stop and think about it, how many of your thoughts and actions are connected to being happy? Unfortunately, this is really where the flaw in your thinking can derail you. It’s tempting to regard happiness as a goal in itself, when in fact it’s not so much a state of being, but rather a question of attitude and mindset, as well as circumstance. After all, your life is never just one thing is it? It’s made up of a range of component parts, each of which you’ve likely imbued with a very specific set of expectations. Understanding what constitutes happiness lies in the insights we have about human motivation and behaviour. The questions in this quiz are designed to get you reflecting on some of things that contribute to our feelings of happiness.
