I have been doing extensive research into the area of “positive psychology” and “happiness” for some time now. According to the research that I have read, one of the biggest mistakes and myths that people make is in searching for happiness. As Dr. Robert Holden says in his book “Happiness Now!,” The world doesn’t have your happiness, you have your happiness.” He also states: “The pursuit of happiness must always fail because it is based on a lie—happiness is not outside you.”

Happiness cannot be found because it already exists inside you waiting to be discovered and enjoyed.
