One morning after our walk, my wife told me she wasn’t happy in life. I was shocked — she seemed to have everything. But when I asked myself the same question, my inner voice also said, “No.” That was a wake-up call.
After much searching, a doctor friend gave me the answer: happiness depends on four hormones — Endorphins, Dopamine, Serotonin, and Oxytocin.
-
Endorphins come from exercise and laughter.
-
Dopamine is released when we achieve goals or feel appreciated.
-
Serotonin comes from helping others and giving back.
-
Oxytocin is created through human connection — hugs, handshakes, or time with loved ones.
So, the formula is simple: exercise, set and achieve goals, be kind, and share love. When these four hormones flow, happiness follows — and with happiness, we can handle life’s challenges much better.
