Happiness=H

t=times
p=personality
l=location
s=society

Then
H=f(t,p,l,s)
f(     ) is similar a function, it change with those four independent  elements.

When H=f(t,p,l,s) go to its maximum ?
We have no answer yet.
But if Timmy is unhappy， he will change his ‘ t,p,l,s ‘ so adjust his happiness.

Some one ask, if money do not effect your happiness?
Answer is :  Wealth do not effect happiness independently.

Your wealth can be made by other four elements.

Thanks Yadda.
There are many thing repeat but not all people understand why it is repeating.

If Happiness H=f(t,p,l,s) is a universal rule?
Of cause not, 
It is far far away to understand why are happy.
We are going to point out all elements which effect our happiness individually.
The approach way is we kick off the element which can be influnced by others elements.

If Honor influence your happiness individually?

No,
Honor is a result of your personality(P) are accepted in society(S).
If you are popularity in society?

So Honor Ho=Ho(P,S), it is a result that is combaied by personality(P) and society(S)

Tim is Turd Ching CHONG( wander panda ), He could not confirm himself is happy.

Happiness is (H - uH)

H = Happiness
uH = unHappiness


You can attain happiness by recognizing then rejecting and/or eliminating all the things that make you unhappy

Once you've completed the "unhappy" rejection/elimination process, only happiness remains - for you to enjoy

Tim Neanderthal wrote on Sep 20^th, 2018 at 1:39am:



Put the theory into practice. It worked for me

I don't think there is anything 'spiritual' (Fashionable) about Happiness.
People find happiness in getting their next 'smack' fix.
Their next one night stand, the next Pokie pay-out, etc.
People find 'happiness' in isolation - up in the high mountains, away from people and the stresses of life and its responsibilities.

In many a circumstance - I've seen many a Happy person or happy people as nothing more than 'stupid' compared to someone/people as 'depressed'.

Happiness is a personal 'feeling' [a state of mind].    .....i would say, even, that happiness is a 'spirit'.

Happiness is something we either, have 'found' and now possess, or it is something which still eludes us.

Happiness is not something which any man can purchase, with worldly possessions [like 'money'].

And happiness can reside with and among, people with vastly differing worldly circumstances.

e.g.
Many materially poor [or moderately poor] people have found and possess happiness.

And 'sound' happiness often eludes many of the wealthiest people on the planet.



Personal good health is something to be treasured [appreciated].

But do we ?



And happiness belongs to those who have found contentment with simple goodness.

I am glad you pointed out the cliche of money not being able to buy happiness. When I said its not what you have, its what you do, I did not mean wealth precludes happiness. One type of case is anxiety, and it is common knowledge that occupational therapy is highly beneficial. Wealth may be either a help, or a hindrance, depending on the personality of the individual. In my experience, truly happy people are often highly independent thinkers, while at the same time, there are those who profess happiness in following the mores or membership of a group. It is quite possible happiness requires neither philosophy or circumstance.

Just checking Tim's formula again, it's seems you have unwittingly complied with it

Happiness=H

t=times
p=personality
l=location
s=society

Then
H=f(t,p,l,s)
f(     ) is similar a function, it change with those four independent  elements.

When H=f(t,p,l,s) go to its maximum ?
We have no answer yet.
But if Timmy is unhappy， he will change his ‘ t,p,l,s ‘ so adjust his happiness.


My simple formula of H-uH was written in haste and it's not quite right so corrected it should be:

H=(L- uH)

Where

H = Happy

L = Life

uH = all things that make you unhappy

Pretty simple, and Tim's formula expands on it but his points of "t" times, and "s" society are contentious because there's no set time to embark on the road to happiness, and "society" is not really needed to be happy, not in the sense that we generally think about society, but again I suppose, it's a personal thing. One's own philosophical beliefs could deal with it on a personal level 

I found a happiness formula by  researchers, like Dr. Martin Seligman and Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky. (whoever they are)

Their formula is H = S + C + V where
H: Happiness
S: Our biological set point
C: Conditions of living
V: Voluntary actions or choices we make daily
Based on their research they arrived at the following breakdown:
S – 50% Our biological set point
C – 10% Conditions of living
V – 40% Voluntary actions or choices we make daily


S = Which indicates our biological set point is 50% of the index depends on our make up. So some must have a predisposition to being bloody unhappy buggers. That is consistent with my experience. Some people are just never happy.

C = that's life stuff that is out of our control. I am not surprized this is only 10% because, unless we are captured by ISIS or in a gimp box (some may be happy with that BTW) people's life circumstances doesn't  mean they are unhappy. I have seen poor peole around the world laugh and smile and i remember thinking "how can they be happy".

V = the choices we make. So if 60% is not in our control, this is were we can have the biggest impact on our happiness. Making good choices, feeling good about them, getting off are arse and doing something, taking action...... is the key to happiness. Positive thinking and not doing the "poor me".

Thanks,

H = S + C + V
S: Our biological set point
C: Conditions of living
V: Voluntary actions or choices we make daily
I like it.


Our biological set point is relevant to personality.
Conditions of living is relevant to personality and society.
Voluntary actions or choices we make daily are relevant to personality as well.

That means H is relevant to personality and society.

More research ... covers quite a few relevant points


What Psychological
Science Knows About
Achieving Happiness


Entrenched in both ancient and modern cultural tradition, the pursuit
of  happiness  is  a  popular  preoccupation  around  the  world  (Diener, 
2000). Despite the centrality of this goal, the path to happiness is anything
but obvious, in part because people are notoriously inaccurate at knowing
what will make them lastingly happy (Wilson & Gilbert, 2005). This lapse
in  self-knowledge  can  lead  to  poor  choices,  both  in  the  short-term  and  in 
the long-term. After years spent saving for a larger house, trying to achieve
a  promotion,  or  finally  being  able  to  retire  and  move  to  the  beach,  individuals 
may  be  frustrated  and  baffled  to  discover  that  lasting  happiness 
still  manages  to  elude  them.  To  demystify  the  determinants  of  happiness,  people 
seek  insight  and  advice  from  a  vast  range  of  sources,  which—
unfortunately—vary tremendously in credibility   .......

Good question,
H(p,s,l,t) is a relation or function that H value is change with elements（variable） of p, s, t, l.
When  p, s, t, l. change， they cause H is changed.
We don't know how the change regulation is yet.
But we understand the change is happen.

Bias_2012 wrote on Sep 26^th, 2018 at 8:58pm:


That is truth, if we try confirming what exactly cause our happiness. We may find no answer.

So we switch to understand what cause happiness changed?
There is no exactly formulation of happiness for human.
But we can try to point some things which change can be caused change of happiness.

Super Nova wrote on Sep 27^th, 2018 at 2:22am:




Yes

Thanks Bias_2012

Variables can be treated as "sub" variables

Yes, variables and sub variables are complex,
So we need to point out those elements which work for happiness independently.
Nowadays we realize those elements (variables) are personality, society, time, location.

"Sub" variables means they are not effect happiness independently. They depend on personality, society, time, location.
"Sub" variables can be produced by personality, society, time, location.

can u paint all the little triangles different colours ? That would make me happy

In four elements which effect  someone's happiness, we may change may be society.

Try beer, many happiness's.
