Research shows that 60% of our happiness depends on genetics and, to a lesser extent, circumstances. This means that our actions account for 40% of our happiness. We can improve our happiness through exercise, recognizing and avoiding cognitive distortions, and finding transcendent meaning. The Bible teaches that we can find truth and meaning in a relationship with Jesus Christ, who came that we might have abundant life.
