Abstract
"When well-being comes from engaging our strengths and virtues, our lives are imbued with authenticity." One of the most important aspects of the psychology of happiness is meaning. This is when you have figured out your strengths and are using them to develop yourself as well as others around you. According to Seligman, the less selfish a person is, the happier they are. You realize that every little thing you do contributes to a larger goal. This means that a person don't just act blindly; they think about the things they want to do and the effect it may have on themselves and others. For example, a person who values meaning might choose to volunteer with the homeless rather than accepting an offer to work in a law firm. Though some people may disagree with this choice, one might argue that to fight for the greater good is better than doing things merely for the sake of money.
