I'm studying evolutionary psychology.
It is very interesting to think that happiness may not be viewed as a purpose of life, but as a tool for survival and reproduction.
Maslow talked about the need for self-realization as the best value, but there is also a story that the need for self-realization may be another aspect of survival and reproduction.
I agree with the story that happiness in life is not a powerful shot, but chocolate every day. Rather, a powerful shot raises the standard of happiness, which can lead to misfortune.
Genes are said to determine 50% of an individual's happiness. The moment of happiness changes, but each individual can move between 5-7 and the other can move between 7-9, which is determined by genes. There are many things that can't be helped since you were born this way.
Finally, today's society forces us to be happy, but happiness is only one element of life after all. Even if you're not seeking happiness, you're not unhappy. It's like if you don't exercise, you don't get sick right away...
The origin of happiness was explained in a short amount of easy writing, so it was a very interesting book to read. I learned about evolutionary psychology thanks to this book, and I am reading several more books.
