“Happiness: The Neuroscience of a Fulfilled Mind”

Happiness, often pursued yet rarely defined with precision, is more than an abstract emotion. Scientific research increasingly reveals that happiness is a neurobiological state, influenced by genetics, brain chemistry, behavior, environment, and individual choices. While external circumstances contribute, happiness is fundamentally a state of mind—one shaped by neural activity, cognitive processes, biochemical interactions, and daily behaviors. Understanding its mechanisms offers an opportunity to cultivate and sustain it in ways once thought impossible.
