Nothing is better: The Dalai Lama's recipe for happiness has been proven by science!

In his book "The Skill of Raising Happiness", the Dalai Lama wrote: "We must definitely learn how to love what we have and accept what we don't have, in order to find stability and happiness."

And now these words have been confirmed by science.

Neurologist Jaak Panksepp points out that the road to happiness, not the failure to reach the destination, is what makes us happy.


In the following, he explained how fulfilling our desires will not create long-term happiness, Telegrafi reports.

Speaking at TEDx, he highlighted seven primary emotions: joy, panic, worry, longing, fear, bitterness and curiosity, namely the desire to search for someone or something.

This last emotion, Panskepp points out, is the key to our happiness.

He points out that dopamine, the chemical substance in our brain, is related to pleasure, it is also related to the instinct to seek, and that by researching and seeking new information, our brain releases dopamine which leads to pleasure.

This study is consistent with many previous studies which have shown that wealth and power do not make us happy, but the constant search and maintenance of quality relationships deserve happiness. /Telegraph/
