It's often been said that happiness is a state of mind, and most of us spend considerable time and effort trying to achieve it. What have scientific researchers learned about happiness? Is our individual outlook, for better or worse, something we've inherited? Does each of us have a happiness "set-point" that we return to despite circumstances? Join us for a discussion with faculty from the University of Minnesota's Center for Twin & Family Research, which explores how genes and environment interact to influence individuals.
