    Happiness Is Simpler Than You Might Think Analysis

    The two article titles, “Happiness is Other People” by Ruth Whippman (2017) published on The New York Times and “The Secret to Deeper Happiness Is Simpler Than You Might Think” by Ginny Graves (2017) published on Health.com discuss on how happiness is misapprehended and defines how one is able to achieve happiness. The main point that Whippman’s article (2017) wanted to bring across to the readers is that happiness lies does not lie within rather it is more on engaging in human interactions, whereas in Graves’ article (2017), it states that lasting happiness does not come from materialistic possessions but can be from the simplest means or actions in accordance to your own values. The two articles have brought their points across to the reader, however I feel that Ginny Graves’ articles are more persuasive as compared to Ruth Whippman’s articles in terms of credibility, being more relatable more readers she is able to reach and having more testimonials in supporting her argument . Ginny Graves and Ruth Whippman were both considered are veteran authors with writing experiences of 30 years (Graves, n.d.) and 7 years (Whippman, n.d.) respectively, however when it comes to the topic of “happiness” both authors lack the credibility when trying to persuade the readers since this topic requires a great understanding…

    Daniel Haybron's Happiness And Its Discontents

    The reason we are not happy is because of ourselves. It sounds a little intense but it makes sense at the same time. Happiness comes to those who understand that to gain it we must strive to live a happy life. To live a happy life, we have to fulfill our primal needs because without those we can’t focus on our inner selves. Then we have to understand that we aren’t always going to be happy if we don’t learn how to properly react towards our happy and unhappiness.…

    Happiness In Tim O Brien's On The Rainy River

    Happiness, expressed in an everyday sense, is a mental or a psychological state of being sound and well defined by positive energy or joy. One may feel happy in a different manner, and due to a different reason than another. For example, one may be happy to win a million dollar lottery, whereas another may be happy to just to be alive. It is subjective when it comes to interpreting happiness as it differs with every individual.

    Piscopo Is Paralyzed But Says He's Never Been Happier

    After reading “Choosing Joy: Enzio Piscopo is Paralyzed, But Says He’s Never Been Happier. Find Out Why.”, looking at the “Happiness” picture with the quote from Benjamin Franklin, and seeing the video of “Happy” by Pharrell Williams (and studying the lyrics), it is obvious that a topic in all three is happiness. To identify a common theme, however, took a closer look. The quote on the “Happiness” picture with the alligator is from Benjamin Franklin, and says that happiness depends more on the “inward disposition of mind” rather than on “outward circumstances.”…

    Aristotle's Definition Of Happiness In Political Philosophy

    I want to inform you about a few things that I learned about happiness in political philosophy this semester. Since you’ve asked me what political philosophy is, I’ll start out by explaining that. In a very general sense, political philosophy is trying to answer the question of how we ought to live in society as human beings. At the beginning the year, I asked you what you thought happiness was (hoping you could give me some ideas for my first essay to be written on it), and neither of us could really put our finger on exactly how to define happiness. Well do not fear, because Aristotle is here!…

    Analysis Of Everything Now By Steve Mckevitt

    Human beings act upon both their emotions and instincts to determine what they need in order to survive, and what they want to fulfill any sentimental desires. Because of our personal perspectives and our unique individuality, what we require versus what we yearn for can differ from person to person. This common variation causes a kind of controversy in the discussion of what the most constructive lifestyle comprises of. Many have authored books, directed documentaries, and appeared on television to offer their thoughts and hopefully convince their audience to agree with them. Specifically, “Everything Now”, an essay, by Steve McKevitt identifies and outlines his personal judgments on the difference of wants and needs to conclude that society…

    Existentialism In The Heart Goes Last

    This dissertation will be an attempt to explore how Margaret Atwood uses existentialist concepts in The Heart Goes Last (2015). I will attempt to prove that, in the novel, freedom of choice is a requisite element to find one’s true self and therefore; be happy. Literature is an experimental place where everything can be built or deconstructed in order to analyze and reflect upon the real world and the nature of man. Consequently, it is a laboratory where authors can branch out possibilities for their characters. In the modern world, everyone strikes for a happy life.…

    Theory Y By Douglas Mcgregor: Theory X And Theory Y

    Theory X and Theory Y by Douglas McGregor, summarizes a difference between management styles in that Theory X is an authoritarian style which assumes employees are naturally unmotivated, and Theory Y is a participative style and assumes that employees are self-motivated and enjoy working with greater responsibility (Mindtools, n.d.). In my workplace, I am more partial to Theory Y. I think that unless personally observed, managers should not just assume that otherwise mature, responsible adults trying to make a living, are more inclined to avoid work and must be directed in all activities. Even if people are just there to make a living and don’t really care about what they are doing, I would imagine that they’d still want to put forth effort to make sure that the work is done right.…
