Sheldon, ("Pursuing Happiness: The Architecture of Sustainable Change," ) Review of General Psychology, Vol. 9, No. 2, 111–131, 2005〕 10 percent is affected by life circumstances and situation, and a remaining 40 percent of happiness is subject to self control.〔http://www.nybooks.com/articles/21197〕〔http://us.penguingroup.com/nf/Book/BookDisplay/0,,9781594201486,00.html〕〔http://www.pe.com/localnews/highereducation/stories/PE_News_Local_D_happy19.3d48c86.html〕 The strategies offered in the book are designed to target the 40 percent of happiness that is subject to manipulation.
