PANIAGUA GONZALES, Maria Nela R.. Decidiendo ser felices. Fides Et Ratio [online]. 2015, vol.9, n.9, pp. 11-18. ISSN 2071-081X.

This is a reflexión article addressed to 80 ladies of a club in La Paz City and pretends to demonstrate that being happy is possible. When deciding being happy a series of mental functions are activated which then give rise targeted actions aimed at achieving happiness. Decisions as higher cortical functions in the human being are the anteroom of the action. The article presents investigation results to justify that the human being as God's designed criature has the spirit to be happy. The biblical quote used in the article links "science and faith" to sustain that happiness is an internal process which is imitated, taught, learned and relearned.
