What is Joy? How is it different from happiness and other positive emotions?
Joy is a mix of emotions, primarily gladness and happiness, awe and gratitude. Happiness and joy are often understood to mean the same thing. While happiness is certainly related to joy, joy is an enduring overall feeling of pleasantness. It feels light and free. Our attention and thinking are broadened by joy.
