Millions of Americans spend their lives searching for happiness. Some look for happiness in love and marriage, others say they will be happy when they have a child, achieve a certain weight or make a million dollars. They’re convinced that they deserve this happiness, however they define it, and, if it doesn’t happen, they feel cheated. Unrealized expectations trigger a downward spiral into anger and self-pity. They blame God, society, family or their job for interfering with their personal quest for happiness.
