Don't worry, be happy
In every life we have some trouble
But when you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy
(attribute to Bobby McFerrin's oh so famous song)

They use the sustainable happiness model (by Lyubomirsky, Sheldon and Schkade, 2005) as theoretical framework. According to the model, three factors contribute to an individual’s happiness level:

Life circumstances
Intentional activities/effortful acts that are episodic and naturally variable
The journey to happiness has always and still is of great interest, there is empirical evidence that it even leads to positive life outcomes such as a higher income and stronger
