The How of Happiness
The How of Happiness was published in 2008 by Penguin Press.[7] The book has been translated into 22 languages.[4]
The premise of The How of Happiness is that 50 percent of a given human's long-term happiness level is genetically determined,[8] 10 percent is affected by life circumstances and situation, and a remaining 40 percent of happiness is subject to self control.[9][10][11][12]
The How of Happiness led to an iPhone application called Live Happy, produced by Signal Patterns. Lyubomirsky is on the company's scientific advisory board.[13]
The How of Happiness has also led to a song, The How of Happiness Book tune, a mnemonic to remember the content within the book.[14]
The Myths of Happiness
The Myths of Happiness,[15] published by Penguin Press, claims why major life events that should make a person happy don't, and that what shouldn't make us happy often does.[16][17]
