The evidence is clear: In almost every country, happiness is falling. It is easy to get dragged down when around us, loneliness is increasing, relationships are harder to form, and political polarization is on the rise. However, we can counter this trend by understanding the fundamentals of happiness science, practicing it each day, and sharing it with others.
