For example, people who are happy have good relationships, and are very enthusiastic in their work. The author explained The meaning of happiness to be the experience of pleasure.

My Reaction 7
Today I began to read chapter 3 on happiness book. The most striking quote that I read today is that "the great end of all human industry is the attainment of happiness. For this were arts invented, sciences cultivated, laws ordained, and societies modeled." (Page32, the British Philosopher David Hume argues that). The interesting things for me in this quote is that the importance of the human being that everything is assuring his or her happiness.

My emotions about what is Happeniness
My emotions about what I read in “What is Happiness?”
I am almost done with
chapter two in what is Happiness, I reached
the Happiness Archetype. In the Happiness Archetype that I read on Monday I
really like happiness point, it taught me
to be happy in the present and future. If people want to be
happy, they should accept the difficulties
that they faced. This part of the happiness Archetype influenced me a lot. Thinking about how to be happy in present and future and don’t think just about the present. For
example, I came from my country to study English to find a good work in the future, I feel exhausted and tired when I am studying but it will be a benefit to me in the future. I am so
happy to understand the part of the book
that I read.
