Reaching Happiness

About the work

Well-being is not the same as happiness. Broadly speaking, well-being is a state of temporary satisfaction, while happiness is a mysterious state of full satisfaction, which lasts over time, being difficult to know what makes individuals happy and incentivize them to really pursue and achieve happiness.
