What should have taken hundreds of thousands of years to adapt to a digital environment through the process of evolution, has taken merely decades. Let’s be honest here, our barely evolved brains are struggling to handle the modern world properly. The progressive nature of humans to distort nature has had some dire consequences for the human brain. However, over the past decade, the science of happiness has received a fair bit of attention, because, of course, everyone would like to be happier, and probably more now than ever because studies show modern living is depressing. A quick Wiley Online Library search reveals 50,522 results for the word “happiness”, compared with 409,708 for the word “depression”. Compared with misery, happiness has come out virtually unscathed in the study of social science.
