“A man is as about as happy as he makes up his mind to be.”  Abraham Lincoln   In 1998 the new president of the American Psychological Association revealed his startling goal and vision to the members of his profession.  Instead of psychologists focusing on negative mental states – depression, obsession, neurosis, anxiety, etc. – he suggested that they explore a different theme – happiness.  What makes people happy? What makes the human heart sing? How do happy people think?  What makes a person optimistic and happy?   Thousands upon thousands of people have been, and still are, involved in many different research studies on happiness. Join Beverly Nadler, to find out the results of this ongoing research. Some of the answers may astonish you. Of course, there are many variables that must be considered in the new science of happiness, but one thing is certain – happier people are usually healthier people!
