The Effect of Environment on Happiness

HAVE you so far overlooked the effect environment has on your happiness, attaching more importance to more circumstantial factors like income, education, and relationships? Well, as a matter of fact, though seeming comparatively more passive, the environment has a drastic effect on one's happiness. In fact it is one's immediate environment that implicitly defines their mood at every instant of their life, affects their image of who they are and consequently determines their explanation of the amount of progress they make on the way to economical, educational and relational success, which is the explicit factor defining one's degree of happiness in life. In other words, It is indeed the environmental conditions such as temperature, pollution, noise, light, colors, forms, textures etc that by defining one's level of satisfaction at every moment, lead them to general judgments of their status of happiness in life.

Indoor environment is defined generally as that part of environment which is roofed and confined within walls. It can be "personal", like one's home or a student's dorm room, or "public", like a university or a hairdresser's salon. Indoor environment is that part of the environment in which people spend most of their times; their comfort, their business, their relationships and much more happens within the indoor environment. Since it is part of a built environment, it has the human thought creating it and therefore whatever effect it has on the people who spend time inside it, is directly ruled by the human brains that form it.
