But the mathematical equation for happiness will not guide you through life or give you a list of things that would make you happy. It does not focus on life satisfaction. Instead, it deals with momentary or immediate sense of happiness. According to the scientists, this type of happiness is only temporary and can quickly fade away. They call this “the forgetting factor.” The more time passes the more our appreciation and thrill triggered by the unexpected positive outcome of the situation declines.

Still, researchers who came up with this formula do not advice people to constantly see the glass half empty just so that they could experience momentary happiness. In addition, they explain that even if you try to lower your expectations, it may not work since the process should happen in a genuine and natural manner.

Also, scientists advise that people should use their sense of happiness and sadness as a barometer and not to try and manipulate or alter it. For instance, if you are feeling happier than the usual you are on the right path. If, however, you senses that happiness has turned into a mirage, then this could mean that you are doing something the wrong way.

Apart from its purely entertaining side, the happiness equation is said to have a more scientific and even medical purpose. The people behind it claim that it can be successfully used in the study of mood disorders.
And in case you were wondering, this is how the happiness formula looks like!
