Center for Youth Studies Happiness Survey

1. Happiness Survey

Happiness is.. from the inside out or outside in... the combination of what you're born with, what you like to feel, how involved you are with people, and your view of the bigger picture (according to MTV researchers). Dictionaries define happiness as feeling pleasure and feeling satisfied. We'd like to know what makes, or would make, you happy.
