Well for some it may be a peanut butter cookie, but for the allergic…not so much.  So what does make us happy?  A recent book Character Strengths and Virtues: A Handbook and Classification attempts to define the characteristics, behaviors and conditions that lead to happiness.  In case you don’t have time to peruse the 800-page book  published by the  the World Database of Happiness in Rotterdam (no, we are not making that up) the website mint consolidates the main ideas into a “top 10″ list of personal qualities that the authors feel leads to happiness.  Are yours on there?
