Are you happy?

Siri and David are off on one of their many adventures, and this time it is to find out why Copenhagen is seen as the happiest place on earth. It is helpful that our son, Josiah, is currently studying architecture in Copenhagen, as his 4th year of 5 at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo (SLO). We have looked up the “Happiness Institute” – yes, that really is the name – and on their TED talk by their CEO, Meik Wiking, he defines happiness in three areas, Satisfaction, Emotion/Happiness, and Purpose. That is each of us define our own happiness based on how satisfied we are our in our current lives, how emotionally happy do we feel currently, and do we feel a sense of purpose in our life. The more you say yes to these three areas, the more likely you are to be happy.

That is what we learned the night before packing for for our 3 week adventure of Copenhagen, Paris, and Barcelona. More to come.
