British and Australian researchers say that you can inherit happiness.

Researchers found that genes control half of the personality traits that make people happy.

The study was based on 1.000 pairs of identical and non-identical twins. The researchers asked the volunteers a series of questions about their personality. By cross checking all the twins’ answers and knowing that some shared the same genes and others didn’t, scientists managed to identify the genes that result in certain personality traits that predispose people to happiness.

Traits that predispose people to happiness can be an outgoing personality, being calm and reliable, hardworking and conscientious, say researchers at the University of Edinburgh.

So now you know that if your parents are happy persons probably you’ll get some of those genes to help you out.
