What Good Is Happiness?
When you feel better – everything else is better!
You can feel great!
"When we think well, we feel good."
--Carl Sagan
Feeling good brings more successful interactions in the world – not the other way around. It’s a myth that "when circumstances change you are going to feel better". If that were true, we’d all be totally at the whim of things we have no control over- a scary thought! (And the stuff of existential crisis.)
It has even been scientifically "proven" that - beyond basic survival needs - the circumstances of your life are not what make you happy or unhappy. Circumstances are not what cause you to thrive or to languish.
You can learn how to feel great. You can learn to thrive and flourish. You don’t have to depend on circumstances. Developing the art and skill of feeling good by better managing your mood and energy opens the way for more friendships, stronger love, better physical health, and more creativity.
When you feel great, you go further, with less effort and in less time. Growth, positive development, and more successful interactions in the world have their foundations in you feeling good … in you feeling great!
Here's what you can look forward to
When you feel good you benefit in many ways and experience mastery in every life area. And when you feel great you take these advantages even further.
When you feel good you are healthier – lots healthier
- People who feel good live longer and are less likely to become disabled. Feeling good buffers you from the wear and tear of aging.
- Happy people spend more time playing. Playing has survival benefits and is associated with increased creativity, muscle tone, and cardiovascular fitness.
- Happy people have better health habits, lower blood pressure, and stronger immune systems than less happy people.
- Happy people endure pain better, take more health and safety precautions when threatened, and make use of more health risk information.
It is easier and more fun to learn how to feel good than it is spending your time getting sick, getting older faster, experiencing more pain and disability, and dying younger. Feeling good is a "prolonger of life and improver of health." The choice to feel good – and it is a choice - should be a no-brainer.
When you feel good you are more effective and successful in the world.
- Happy people see more good things happening in their lives and forget about more of the bad stuff. They view themselves as more successful in the world and think that they have more skill than others think they do. People who feel good about themselves experience success as lasting, personal and pervasive and failure as impersonal, temporary and specific.
It is nice to feel good about yourself. You’ll build your self-esteem and pave the way for things to work out for you. Success breeds success and means you’ll continuously build from a strong and favorable foundation. Believing the winds of good luck are always with you steadies and strengthens you.
- When events are threatening, happy people, more readily than less happy people, switch tactics and adopt a skeptical and analytical frame of mind. Happy people are more likely to switch tactics when involved in a task that appears to be failing. People who feel good deal better with adversity.
The better you feel (even in down times) the better you’ll deal with life’s ups and downs. The downs won’t keep you down. You won’t get caught in a rut of doing the same old, ineffective things. Remember Benjamin Franklin’s definition of insanity – doing the same thing and expecting different results. Being happy doesn’t mean you become oblivious- just positively selective.
- Feeling good makes gainful employment and higher income more likely. People who feel good are markedly more satisfied with their jobs than less happy people. Feeling good actually causes more productivity and results in higher income.
Instead of climbing the ladder of success take the elevator. Feeling good helps show you the money and you will laugh your way to prosperity.
- Adults and children who are in a good mood select higher goals, perform better, and persist longer on a variety of tasks and solving problems.
Have more fun and you won’t be afraid to go for what you want. Feel good and you will get where you want to go sooner, easier and won’t get sidetracked.
When you feel good you are more connected with others
- People who feel good have more secure relationships. Very happy people differ markedly from average people and from unhappy people in one principle way - a rich and fulfilling social life.
You don’t have to be lonely. Feel better and more people will feel better with you.
- People who feel good have more close and casual friends, are more likely to be happily married, and are more involved in group activities than unhappy people.
When you feel good, you develop genuine charisma.
- People who feel good have more positive social interactions. They are more tolerant.
Feeling good is an easy way to being kinder.
- Happy people are more altruistic. When you are in a good mood you are less focused on yourself, you like others more and share your good fortune more with others.
When you feel good, ripples of good are created.
When you feel good, you are more creative and open to new ideas
- People who feel good have a greater drive for exploration and discovery. They engage in more active, playful exploration, and discovery

- People who feel good are more open to new ideas and new experiences. They are more expansive, and creative.

People who feel good build the resources and capital that will become the basis for growth and development in years to come. Happy people reach outward and broaden their resources through exploration and discovery.
When you feel good you feel empowered. The better you feel the more you’ll expand and reach outward. There is no limit to the good you can experience for yourself and the good you can give to others.
- People who feel good look for the virtues of what is happening. They become constructive, generous, un-defensive, and open to seeing possibilities.
Wouldn’t it be nice to broaden your horizons and feel open to the world and others? The better you feel the more intuitive wisdom you will have and the more effective you’ll become at going around obstacles.
- People who feel good "broaden and build," They seek growth and development, exploration and discovery. Feeling good increases your survival chances because when you feel good you broaden your intellectual, physical, and social resources and build reserves to draw upon.
Feeling goods leads you to give up being satisfied by the same old, same old. You reach out for all the good you can. You’ll get involved with all the great things going on in the world.
- People who feel good have more successful interactions in the environment. This produces more useful information about their environment and they develop sense of greater personal mastery.
Feeling good connects you with your power to make your dreams come true.You start to live your life by design and not just by circumstance.
Feeling good creates an upward spiral of even more good feelings.
The upward and outward spiral of feeling good starts an upward and outward spiral of even more positive emotions and thus more exploration, discovery, creativity, and insightful thinking and more success and mastery in life.
