Forty percent of our happiness may be within our power to control—and making ourselves happier could take less than 10 minutes a day, according to University of California, Riverside, psychology professor Sonja Lyubomirsky, PhD. Backed by a five-year $1 million grant from the National Institute of Mental Health, Lyubomirsky—along with colleague Ken Sheldon, PhD—is exploring the potential of happiness-sustaining strategies, such as expressing gratitude and reflecting on happy moments, to permanently bolster one's happiness level. Some of her key research includes a 2006 study—published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (Vol. 90, No. 4)—in which Lyubomirsky and her graduate students found that people who thought about happy life events for eight minutes every day for three days felt increased life satisfaction four weeks later than they had prior to the study.
