Body
“Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.” Abraham Lincoln The quest for happiness is part of the American psyche, embedded in our cultural DNA.

But there is a real question here. Where does happiness come from? How do we obtain it? Is happiness dependent on our external circumstances or is something deeper involved?
