Explanation: This is an excerpt from a lecture by Professor Laurie Santos entitled "The Science of Well-Being". Professor Santos speaks and examines psychological science and what that science says about happiness. She reveals some of the misconceptions that people have about happiness, as well as ways to create happiness-enhancing habits. She says that the purpose is not just to learn what science says about happiness, but to find happiness in practice with our behaviours, habits and activities, and practice it daily. It is a way not only of understanding and achieving, but also of maintaining happiness.
That is why Professor Santos did her lessons in a very friendly way with students, thus breaking down the established barriers that in fact contribute to the usual literary understanding and experience of happiness. The leisurely way of teaching and talking with students contributes to the fact that they will begin to feel happy during the class and leave the lecture with such thought, going to create habits that will promote the creation and maintenance of happiness on a daily basis. Therefore, it is possible to create direct conditions for happiness in your environment, starting with your habits and relationships with the environment.
