Happiness Can Be Managed
- In his 1926 Understanding Ourselves: The Fine Art of Happiness , for example, Harold Dearden, a physician, showed how individuals could become happier through an acquaintance with the principles of modern psychology.
- Since it was the nervous system that regulated both physical and psychical well-being, Dearden maintained in the scientific parlance of the times, one’s level of happiness could be managed through inner fortitude and the power of reason.
- Fears and worries, as well as harmful habits, instincts, impulses, and obsessions, could be eliminated by learning “the fine art of happiness”.
