Is happiness important?

Lynn Ianni (Psychotherapist) gives expert video advice on: How do you define happiness?; Does everyone have the ability to be happy?; What are the essential ingredients of happiness? and more...

I think it's important to each individual that they allow themselves to choose happiness. So, to that extent, I think happiness is important, and I think it's really important that they understand they have the option to do that. In terms of my job, that's what I would really want to teach people all day long, is to know that they can be happy if they allow themselves to be, and if they create it from within. And because they can, my job is very fulfilling. Because I see people choose to do that every day. Not perfectly, certainly, I would never espouse perfection as even a goal. It's not a worthwhile goal because no one's perfect. But to continue to strive, and feel like you're a work in progress, and let yourself be enough, let that be enough, creates happiness, and that's achievement.
