This video is part of our series on human happiness.
A question that often gets asked is whether Happiness can be taught.
The short answer is Yes.  
I will explain.
Psychologists have for many years been pondering the nature of the human personality.
Whether it is genetics or social factors that determine personality.
To this end, researchers have been studying identical twins.  
There is good reason for doing this.
Here we have two people.  
Who for all intents and purposes are the same.
They look the same.
They were born at the same time.
They have identical genetics.
They have the same parents.
They grew up in the same environment.
Researchers thus came to the conclusion that it is not just your genetics or the physical growth of the body that eventually make the person who they are.
Researchers have found that there are distinct differences.
For example, they may have different preferences.
One prefers ice cream, the other likes chocolate.
There may be differences in their social skills.
The one is outgoing, whilst the other is more introvert.
The same goes for their general happiness.
One may experience a lot of happiness.
The other not so much.
Researchers came to the conclusion that it is not only genetics
Or the physical growth of the body that determines personality.
It is also the environment and the persons own experiences that makes the person who they are.
Scientists have determined that it is the individual actions of the person
that determine how much happiness they experience.
To have a good and positive attitude.
To have an attitude for success.
To have an attitude towards happiness.
So, in conclusion, it is your own life experiences that helps to determine personality.
It is also what you have been taught in life.
This flows on to the level of happiness that you experience.
