“Research is showing pretty convincingly now that happiness is really within us, it’s not outside of us. It’s in what we do. It’s sort of how we act, how we think every day of our lives.”
- Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky, Distinguished Professor, University of California, Riverside & author of The How of Happiness
