Positive emotions broaden thinking and build resilience, enhancing problem-solving and relationships.
It's Saturday afternoon and you finally have a moment to breathe. You've ticked things off your to-do list, the house is mostly in order, and you should feel good - maybe even happy. But instead, there's a faint tug of "not enough": Not productive enough. Not healthy enough. Not successful enough. Not happy enough. This is the happiness paradox: The more we chase happiness, the more it slips away.
