Voted Best Dentist in America, Woodward & White Voted Top Dentist, NJ Monthly And a five-year study of more than 10,000 people determined that both men and women link their happiness with their ability to care for those close to them.

Also new to the happiness landscape is "positive psychology," a movement that stresses individual strengths. Its focus is to help people develop five traits that appear to be connected with life satisfaction: curiosity, gratitude, hope, love and zest. Experts in the field are discovering that the happiest people forego "keeping up with the Joneses" and instead pursue their own authentic interests. Fully absorbed in an activity, such as playing the piano or planting flowers, people tend to forget their worries… and increase their satisfaction with life. S E l i z a b e t h J.
