The Maths of Happiness

Mathematics has never appealed to me since I was a youngster. It was a subject I only learned because I needed to. Later in life, I realized that math is more than just solving math problems with numbers and equations; it also has a wide range of applications in real life.

In terms of mathematics and our life, I'd want to make a few comments concerning the mathematics of happiness.

1. Happiness is a talent: Happiness, like any other talent, can be taught, practised, and developed. It's not only about passive circumstances; it's about actively manipulating your variables and determining the best equation for your life.

2. Balance the Variables: Don't prioritise one success metric (money, career, status) over others (relationships, health, personal development). Find the equation that optimizes all of the important factors to you, resulting in a balanced and fulfilled existence.

3. Passion is for Rich People: Don't let only Passion drive your job decisions. Understand the market realities and pick a route that will provide both personal fulfilment and financial security. Even "boring" work may be significant and gratifying.

4. Relationships Matter: Invest in developing meaningful relationships with friends, family, and loved ones. Strong social relationships are essential for pleasure and well-being, frequently overshadowing exterior accomplishments.

5. Embrace Imperfection: Do not aim for the impossible "perfect" existence. Accept the chaotic, unpredictable path of life, learn from your errors, and find delight in the tiny things.

6. Question everything. Test conventional wisdom and cultural expectations. Define your own notion of success and pleasure, and don't be afraid to veer from the expected route.

7. Become the Chief Happiness Officer: Take control of your happiness. Don't rely on others to make you happy. Be in charge of your own life and actively pursue joy, meaning, and purpose.

Remember that The Mathematical formula of Happiness is not a quick-fix solution, but rather a thought-provoking investigation of what happiness looks like and how to achieve it in your own life. You could use these lessons to reconsider your values, priorities, and relationships, and rewrite the story of your own happiness.
