If toxic people and stressful jobs can destroy happiness, that effectively means it is not in our hands. Even money and wealth cannot make us happy. So we should be talking of well-being which is the sure way to achieve peace of mind. Contentment is the key to well-being. It is an attitude that can be cultivated. Leading a contended life closes the gap between what we want to become and what we actually are.The society has standards for measuring happiness but none for well-being because it is subjective.Nobody can measure another’s well- being. Happiness has an opposite- unhappiness but well-being can imbibe both joy and sorrow as it is a state of the mind.
