Researchers have found that about 50% of one's happiness depends on
one's genes. This is shown by studying identical twins and learning
that their happiness is 50% correlated even when growing up in
different houses. About 10% to 15% is a result of various
measurable variables, such as socioeconomic status, marital status,
health, income, and others. The remaining 40% results from actions
that individuals deliberately engage in for the purpose of becoming
happier. However, these actions may vary between persons. For
example, extroverts may benefit from placing themselves in situations
involving large amounts of human interaction. Also, exercise has been
shown to increase one's level of well-being significantly. In
particular martial arts have been proven to both boost ones happiness
via the benefits of physical exercise and improve a subject's
self-confidence.
