Rare Photos From The Past That Will Take You Back In Time

But if things are so much better now, are we much happier than we were then?The other day, I was involved in a discussion on what it means to be happy. There were a variety of responses on the topic. People said things such as:

• “If I could get whatever I wanted, I would be happy.”
• “Happiness is about having a balance of work, family, friends, and health.”
• “Mindset is the key to happiness.”

All of these explanations make sense on the surface. It seems that happiness is centered on getting what we want, having a positive mental state, or both. And yet, while all these ideas sound great in theory, the reality is starkly different.
