Lights are glistening, holiday music is on the radio and people are gathering around you, laughing, and celebrating. For some it’s the most wonderful time of the year, but for many it is also that time when we think about another year gone by and begin that mental inventory of our lives. Goals not yet accomplished. Colleagues and neighbors that look like they’ve passed us by. You thought you’d be happier, more satisfied. You’re not alone if you think you might be missing out.


Everyone strives for happiness. Studies repeatedly show that happiness leads to better physical and mental health and contributes to a longer life. But happiness can feel elusive and hard to grasp, especially if you aren’t really sure what happiness is or how to get there.
