Mark Myers Expert Answer to: How can I become a happier person?

Happiness is an individual and subjective experience. How someone defines it and views it, is what happiness is to them. A moment of happiness for a teenager or adrenalin seeking adult could be a going down a high thrill roller coaster ride. For others (those of us more ground based) this could be a very unpleasant activity. There is not one universal accepted experience or state of mind that defines happiness. An individual concept of happiness is formed by subjective interpretations of events and expectations set forth by themselves or others.
