What's it about?

Happiness is something that most people would agree they want, but this near-universal desire has far-from-universal meaning. Definitions of happiness can vary widely across cultures, belief systems, and even individuals—some think that focusing on “happiness” is the wrong way to look at life. So to capture this illusive concept of “happiness”, there’s a lot to untangle. From science to spirituality to self-help, this collection of Blinks will help you get on a more positive path. Explore the concept of happiness from the ancient world through the present day, how living fully in the present can alleviate pain and suffering, and how understanding neuroplasticity can help reprogram your brain to focus on the good.
