Today, I want to introduce an interesting book, of which title is “The Origin of Happiness” If I try to summary that book into one line, it can be "happiness is not the purpose of life but the tool for survival.” According to this book, happiness is kind of reward given when the agent do something helpful in survival. For example, it would be important to survive for ancient humans to make and maintain a group. Thus, through evolution process, getting a well-social relationship has made humans in a good mood as a reward, as being wounded has caused some pain as a warning signal. In fact, it has a strong influence on our mood whether we can get along with our friends, family, or colleagues. A research shows when people become lonely, their body temperature starts to be low and the pain of parting can be relieved by taking a Tylenol. It seems that our brain treats pain of mind in as same way as pain of body. The purpose of both pains is the signal to make us avoid something to threaten our survival. The other way, we feels happy and relieved when succeed to avoid that threat.

Today, I want to introduce an interesting book, of which title is = entitled “The Origin of Happiness”. If I try to summary = summarize that book into one line, it can be "happiness is not the purpose of life but the tool for survival.” According to this book, happiness is a kind of reward given when the agent = an individual does something helpful in for survival.

In fact, it has a strong influence on our mood whether we can get along with our friends, family, or colleagues. A research shows when people become lonely, their body temperature starts to be (get) low and the pain of parting can be relieved by taking a Tylenol (or analgesics or painkillers).
