What Makes You Happy? Why Fun Matters to Your Happiness

The sense of liberation is essential to your psychological well-being..

Posted September 23, 2021 | Reviewed by Chloe Williams

• Aristotle proposed that eudaimonia, or leading a virtuous life by chasing success and mastery, is the pinnacle of happiness.
• Epicurus proposed that happiness was achieved from ataraxia—a state of being completely free from anxiety or fear.
• Research suggests that the experience of having fun reflects Epicurus' philosophy, when people feel liberated from the constraints of life.

A few evenings ago, as I sipped on my pinot with a long-time friend I had not seen for years, we spent hours contemplating and talking about life. Eventually, the discussion centered around one big question: What made us happy? Is it the close relationships we have with our friends and family, or is it the recognition of leading a successful career ? Or is it making a lot of money? Are those enough? What about the simple pleasures of life, such as drinking this elegant and beautiful glass of wine?

Despite having studied individuals’ happiness and well-being for years, I still find the question, “what makes you happy?” intriguing and engaging every time. Of course, I am not the first to explore the depths of human happiness. More than two thousand years ago, the ancient Greeks also spent countless hours thinking and arguing about different paths to living a good life. I’d like to briefly introduce two philosophers, one well-known and the other, less so.

Does leading a virtuous life make you happy?

In regard to well-being (note: I use the term well-being and happiness interchangeably, which may irk some academics), Aristotle proposed eudaimonia —of leading a virtuous life—as the pinnacle of happiness. The notion of living a meaningful and fulfilling life (e.g., making genuine social connections, excelling in one’s capabilities, being morally sound, etc.) bodes well with the positive psychology movement that emerged at the turn of the 21st century, giving rise to concepts such as flow, flourishing, and eudemonic well-being. While I have no objections to, and in fact very much agree with, the significant role that eudaimonia plays in happiness, I find that the pendulum has swung too far in this direction when it comes to determining what “should” make people happy.

Too many people today—young and old—are under constant pressure to build a successful and prosperous career, do well in school, be a good parent (or child), make meaningful social relationships, or exert positive social influence. I’m not saying that any of these goals are unworthy. The problem is that these “virtues” have become so synonymous with achieving happiness that they are placing undue burden on individuals.

We are severely stressed , if not depressed , when we fall short of achieving these goals. According to the CDC, suicide rates in the US have steadily increased for the past 20 years, and appallingly, have increased double-digits for 15- to 24-year-olds. In 2019, suicide was the second leading cause of death for youth and young adults (ages 10 to 34). Though multiple factors probably contribute to these dreadful statistics, the unbearable tension built up from how we strive for happiness (e.g., through a sense of achievement or meaningfulness) might be one prominent factor. How can we resolve or at least mitigate this load?

An alternative view on happiness: Epicureanism

As Aristotle approached the peak of his philosophical career, another great influential thinker was born in ancient Greece: Epicurus. For Epicurus, happiness was not necessarily about achieving great fame, success, or mastery, but from ataraxia—a state of being completely free from anxiety or fear . He proposed a more hedonic, as opposed to a eudemonic, approach to well-being. Epicurus and his followers gathered at his school, named the “Garden” (κῆπος), and lived communally under the paradigm of maximizing pleasure and minimizing pain. And no, they did not just indulge in debauchery.

In contrast to common misconceptions about Epicureanism (e.g., promiscuity, over-indulgence, lack of morality ), Epicurus lived a modest life, suggesting that a piece of cheese could be just as pleasing as a whole feast. To him, happiness was about being free from worries: enjoying time with friends, finding a “job” you really like to do, or living communally so that people can help one another out when needed. Although Epicurus was mostly dismissed and criticized with the rise of Christianity and faded in people’s minds over time, his ideology deserves more serious attention today.

Having fun is a modern-day expression of Epicurean happiness

Results from numerous studies with hundreds of participants I conducted for the past five years repeatedly show that happiness is achieved not only through meaningful pursuits but also through distinct types of pleasure . In particular, the psychological experience of having fun somewhat reflects the philosophy of Epicurus. As discussed in my previous blog post , when people feel temporarily liberated from the various constraints of life (e.g., obligations, discipline, restrictions) while engaged in a pleasurable activity, the experience of fun is maximized. Indeed, fun is an experience of liberating engagement.

Without the sense of being free and carefree, at least from time to time by letting loose and having fun, people may feel burned out or find life dull and pointless, even after reaching “success.” Having fun, in this sense, is a modern-day expression of ataraxia.

Lastly, an interesting phenomenon observed in my dataset of interviews and written narratives is that recollections of having fun, whether with family, friends, or even strangers, are often one of the most memorable and happiest memories in a person’s life. While fooling around with friends over a couple of drinks or going to a theme park with family may seem unproductive, these times of fun seem to give people the motivation to continue their life journey and make life worth smiling about.

Did This Collection Bring Back Your Happiest Memories?

People often think that having fun is a waste of time. But, it’s actually the complete opposite—it’s essential to leading a happy life. 

When we are having fun in life , it’ll seem like everything we’re doing is as easy as pie! We can also give our all to everything we do. It makes us more productive, helps us sleep better, assists us in building authentic relationships with others, and more. 

Also, if we look at our work and responsibilities as enjoyable tasks, we can stay on top of things. We always look at work and the process of achieving our goals as an exciting task that will bring us a sense of fulfillment.

As we grow older, it becomes more apparent that life is a cycle—that we’ll all leave this planet at one point. Since we don’t know when that will be, let’s use every second of every day to live our lives to the fullest. 

With that, we hope this list of having fun quotes was able to bring color to your life once again. Always put your happiness first, above all else!

Having fun yet? Seven Steps Toward Bringing More Fun Into Your Life.

Having fun yet?

I’m sure you’ve been asked that question before, maybe when you’re in the middle of an especially difficult time. It’s usually meant as a joke, but with a message behind it: Life hasn’t been all that easy in awhile. You might even ask yourself the same question when you have hit a rough patch. And the answer is mostly likely pretty clear: no way.

We might also ask ourselves if we’re having fun when we’re coming to the end of the summer, or a vacation, or during the December holidays. You know, those times that are “supposed” to have all kinds of built-in fun.

Having Fun Has a Positive Impact on Your Wellness

Having fun adds a lot to your quality of life. When we smile, we produce those positive hormones – endorphins – that help to lower stress. So does having a good laugh. Having fun with people we care about brings us closer.   And having fun gives us a break from the pressures of life and helps us maintain our perspective. Having fun reminds us that life is good.

So, one more time: Having fun yet?

If you’re not sure how to answer this question, then let’s start by asking another question: What’s it mean to have fun? Laughing it up with friends or family? Eating/drinking like there’s no tomorrow (and regardless of the consequences)? Running yourself until you drop from exhaustion? Smiles, giggles, guffaws?

Now, another question: How does your chronic condition affect the fun you’re having in life?   Have you had to make some adjustments to accommodate the limitations that your chronic has placed on your life, such as your diet or the kinds of activities you can get involved in? Maybe life just seems a whole lot more serious than it did before you were diagnosed. If so, have you decided that your fun days are in the past?

Sure, your chronic condition may mean making some changes in how you have fun. But it doesn’t mean you can’t experience the benefits that having fun can bring to your life. Here’s how to keep the fun times coming:

What’s fun? That’s up to you! If having fun is all about letting loose today and facing the consequences tomorrow, then it may be time to consider toning things down a few notches. Most likely, you can make some adjustments in what you do to have fun in ways that support your wellness. Change does not equal no more fun. So keep an open mind.

Find some new ways to have fun. Focusing on what you can’t do is a good way to guarantee that you don’t have any fun. And resisting change is a good way to stay stuck in one unhappy place. Who needs that? How about making it a goal to add something completely new to have more fun in your life?

Fun in a crowd? Then get one started! Sure, it would be nice if someone would call and suggest doing something fun together. But if you’re waiting for someone to knock your door down, then you might be waiting a long time. If you want to have some fun with someone, think up an activity and give them a call. Or get connected with a new group or club.

Fun on your own? It’s still fun. Consider a new activity or hobby. A game or a puzzle. A comedy on TV.   Get lost in something you enjoy. Who knows, you might catch yourself smiling.

Practice letting go. It’s hard to have fun when you are constantly squeezing the life out of your life. How do you that? By digging in your feet and insisting on being in control of every possible outcome. Even the things in life you don’t have any control over, like the future. Look at it this way: When you let go of the need to be in charge, you can let down your guard and have a little fun.

Look for the humor in everyday life. Having a sense of humor can go a long way toward taking the rough edges off the day. Here’s a starting place: Have a good laugh at that need to be in control of everything.

Put some fun on the schedule. Just like you schedule your job and your other responsibilities. Otherwise you may not take the time. And that doesn’t have to mean two weeks in the Bahamas. How about 30 minutes a day for a little enjoyment? Is that too much to ask?

Having fun yet? If not, you may be forgetting to include the fun factor in your self-care. Yep, it’s time to get serious about having more fun!

“Slow down and enjoy life. It’s not only the scenery you miss by going too fast – you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.” – Eddie Cantor

Once again, it’s important to remember to slow down from time to time. Why are you in a rush to get anywhere? If you were given £1000 would you be in a rush just to get through it without enjoying it? So why is your time any different, when it’s so much more valuable?

“Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.” – Michael Jordan

The huge solar storm is keeping power grid and satellite operators on edge

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of solar flares early Saturday afternoon. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says there have been measurable effects and impacts from the geomagnetic storm.

Planet Earth is getting rocked by the biggest solar storm in decades – and the potential effects have those people in charge of power grids, communications systems and satellites on edge.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says there have been measurable effects and impacts from the geomagnetic storm that has been visible as aurora across vast swathes of the Northern Hemisphere. So far though, NOAA has seen no reports of major damage.

The Picture Show

Photos: see the northern lights from rare, solar storm.

There has been some degradation and loss to communication systems that rely on high-frequency radio waves, NOAA told NPR, as well as some preliminary indications of irregularities in power systems.

"Simply put, the power grid operators have been busy since yesterday working to keep proper, regulated current flowing without disruption," said Shawn Dahl, service coordinator for the Boulder, Co.-based Space Weather Prediction Center at NOAA.

NOAA Issues First Severe Geomagnetic Storm Watch Since 2005

"Satellite operators are also busy monitoring spacecraft health due to the S1-S2 storm taking place along with the severe-extreme geomagnetic storm that continues even now," Dahl added, saying some GPS systems have struggled to lock locations and offered incorrect positions.

NOAA's GOES-16 satellite captured a flare erupting occurred around 2 p.m. EDT on May 9, 2024.

As NOAA had warned late Friday, the Earth has been experiencing a G5, or "Extreme," geomagnetic storm . It's the first G5 storm to hit the planet since 2003, when a similar event temporarily knocked out power in part of Sweden and damaged electrical transformers in South Africa.

The NOAA center predicted that this current storm could induce auroras visible as far south as Northern California and Alabama.

Around the world on social media, posters put up photos of bright auroras visible in Russia , Scandinavia , the United Kingdom and continental Europe . Some reported seeing the aurora as far south as Mallorca, Spain .

The source of the solar storm is a cluster of sunspots on the sun's surface that is 17 times the diameter of the Earth. The spots are filled with tangled magnetic fields that can act as slingshots, throwing huge quantities of charged particles towards our planet. These events, known as coronal mass ejections, become more common during the peak of the Sun's 11-year solar cycle.

A powerful solar storm is bringing northern lights to unusual places

Usually, they miss the Earth, but this time, NOAA says several have headed directly toward our planet, and the agency predicted that several waves of flares will continue to slam into the Earth over the next few days.

While the storm has proven to be large, predicting the effects from such incidents can be difficult, Dahl said.

Shocking problems

The most disruptive solar storm ever recorded came in 1859. Known as the "Carrington Event," it generated shimmering auroras that were visible as far south as Mexico and Hawaii. It also fried telegraph systems throughout Europe and North America.

Stronger activity on the sun could bring more displays of the northern lights in 2024

While this geomagnetic storm will not be as strong, the world has grown more reliant on electronics and electrical systems. Depending on the orientation of the storm's magnetic field, it could induce unexpected electrical currents in long-distance power lines — those currents could cause safety systems to flip, triggering temporary power outages in some areas.

my cat just experienced the aurora borealis, one of the world's most radiant natural phenomena... and she doesn't care pic.twitter.com/Ee74FpWHFm — PJ (@kickthepj) May 10, 2024

The storm is also likely to disrupt the ionosphere, a section of Earth's atmosphere filled with charged particles. Some long-distance radio transmissions use the ionosphere to "bounce" signals around the globe, and those signals will likely be disrupted. The particles may also refract and otherwise scramble signals from the global positioning system, according to Rob Steenburgh, a space scientist with NOAA. Those effects can linger for a few days after the storm.

Like Dahl, Steenburgh said it's unclear just how bad the disruptions will be. While we are more dependent than ever on GPS, there are also more satellites in orbit. Moreover, the anomalies from the storm are constantly shifting through the ionosphere like ripples in a pool. "Outages, with any luck, should not be prolonged," Steenburgh said.

The radiation from the storm could have other undesirable effects. At high altitudes, it could damage satellites, while at low altitudes, it's likely to increase atmospheric drag, causing some satellites to sink toward the Earth.

The changes to orbits wreak havoc, warns Tuija Pulkkinen, chair of the department of climate and space sciences at the University of Michigan. Since the last solar maximum, companies such as SpaceX have launched thousands of satellites into low Earth orbit. Those satellites will now see their orbits unexpectedly changed.

"There's a lot of companies that haven't seen these kind of space weather effects before," she says.

The International Space Station lies within Earth's magnetosphere, so its astronauts should be mostly protected, Steenburgh says.

In a statement, NASA said that astronauts would not take additional measures to protect themselves. "NASA completed a thorough analysis of recent space weather activity and determined it posed no risk to the crew aboard the International Space Station and no additional precautionary measures are needed," the agency said late Friday.

While this storm will undoubtedly keep satellite operators and utilities busy over the next few days, individuals don't really need to do much to get ready.

"As far as what the general public should be doing, hopefully they're not having to do anything," Dahl said. "Weather permitting, they may be visible again tonight." He advised that the largest problem could be a brief blackout, so keeping some flashlights and a radio handy might prove helpful.

And don't forget to go outside and look up, adds Steenburgh. This event's aurora is visible much further south than usual.

A faint aurora can be detected by a modern cell phone camera, he adds, so even if you can't see it with your eyes, try taking a photo of the sky.

The aurora "is really the gift from space weather," he says.
