The Science Behind Happiness: What Creates the wave_of_happy_?
The quest for happiness can be understood not only from a philosophical viewpoint but also through a scientific approach. Psychologists and neuroscientists, on their part, have conducted more than adequate analysis of what compassion is and how it can be transmitted. It can be said that happiness comes as a product of bio forces, outer activities, and personal affiliates.
The Role of Positive Emotions
While common positive emotions are experienced over joy, gratitude and love and contribute to the overall well being of an individual. That infuses only mental aspects but also enhances relationship dimensions with other people. The en mass of hap can be perceived like the collective impact of affect rather than of biology that moves from individual to person in familiar manners, like a splash of water.
Neurochemical Reactions and Happiness
And happiness is associated with the release of certain hormones in the brain of an individual, for instance dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin etc. Who can argue the satisfaction chemical in the body which predisposes an individual to experience pleasure, fulfillment and affection? When this happens people get the urge to transfer the feeling of happiness to others, which in return might result in the infection of happiness towards communities and social networks.
Creating a Positive Ripple Effect: How Small Actions Lead to Greater Happiness

These simple actions help in lighting someone’s spirit and as usual encourage many to pass it on thus moderating the wave.
Taking a Step Back
Happiness is maintained only through gratitude and appreciation. When it comes to gratitude, in the practice of this virtue, people pay attention to different dimensions of their lives that they have, and therefore it can help to change from a court of scarcity to an opportunity court. Now when such a person appreciates another, that person will also see some goodness in his or her life and will appreciate happiness.
