In study after study, four traits are typical of happy people. First, happy people,especially in B1______ Western cultures, like themselves. On self-esteem tests, they agreewith statements such as "I‘m a lot of fun to be with" and "I have good ideas". B2______we might expect of people who are usually happy, theyreport that they have positive self-esteem. Indeed, they usually have a good B3______ of themselves: They believe themselves to be more ethical, more intelligent, B4______ prejudiced, better able to get along with others, and healthier than the B5______ person.

Second, happy people typically feel they have a good personal control. Feeling empowered rather than helpless, they also do better in school, B6______ more at work, and cope better with stress.

B7______ control over one‘s life-a phenomenon studied in prisoners, nursing-home patients, etc.—people B8______ lower morale and worse health. Severe poverty is depressing if it destroys people‘s B9______ of control over their life.

Third, happy people are usually optimistic. One could reason that pessimists,B10______ low expectations are so often B11______, would constantly be surprised by joy."Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed," wrote poet Alexander Pope in a 1727 letter. B12______, positive-thinking optimists, those who agree that "when I am engaged in something new, I expect to succeed" tend to be more successful, healthier, and happier.

Fourth, happy people are extroverted. B13______ we might expect that introverts live more happily in the peacefulness of their less-stressed contemplative lives, extroverts are happier-whether living and working B14______ or with others and whether living in B15______ or metropolitan areas.
