Philosophy of Life

Mood Control

There are two aspects to a philosophy of life: How you interact with yourself and how you interact with others. How you interact with yourself is based on how you find comfort within, relying for help on the internal, positive part of yourself. According to Layard, some people call this positive entity God and Table 2 illustrates that people who believe in God are indeed happier. How you interact with others is based on your interaction with society and the perceptions of the society within which you live. Research shows that people are happier if they feel that they live in a friendly and harmonious world. Furthermore, people who say they trust other people are happier and are in turn happier when surrounded by people who are trusting.
