A study conducted at the University of Kyoto, Japan found that happy people have a larger precuneus, which is grey matter located in the back of the brain between the two cerebral hemispheres.
The precuneus is also linked to thoughts about self, memory, and the experience of consciousness.
Several studies show that meditation increases the grey matter in the precuneus.
In the study, researchers looked at two components of happiness:
1) the moment by moment experience of happiness.
2) overall feeling of satisfaction with life.
