The Science of Happiness about Health
There is no clear
scientific consensus that health and happiness are inter-related. Of course, if
you are more optimistic, you may have a greater sense of purpose to do what you
want to do in life; however, that still does not guarantee greater happiness or
better health.
Most researchers
and psychologists believe that 50 percent of human happiness comes from genes,
that 40 percent from human choice of behaviors in the form of exercising and
socializing, and that only 10 percent from circumstances and external factors.
Remember:
Those who are happier
are less likely to have a cold. Those who are obese are more likely to have a
depression. Those who are happier may have a longer life. But they are no more
than just assumptive predictions, and may not apply to YOU!
The bottom line: Get out
of depression, not by avoiding it or suppressing it with medications, but by “going
through it” with TAO wisdom in order to understand why you may have your
depression in the first place. My Way! No Way! Tao Is the Way!
