The Research is In — There is a "How" to Happiness!

Written By Monique Johnson

What Influences Our Happiness the Most?

Sonja Lyubomirsky Ph.D. wrote the book, "The How of Happiness" and conducted extensive research on the percentages of how happiness is divided.

50 percent is thought to be genetically predetermined, or it also can have some roots in early childhood experiences. 10 percent is situational, meaning that where we live, how much money we make etc. plays a part in overall happiness.

The exciting piece is that 40 percent…which is a lot, can be manipulated with tools and learned behaviors.

I launched MoJo Design over 17 years ago with one goal in mind: to help small business owners bring clarity, confidence, and cohesion to their brand stories.

Along the way, I’ve partnered with entrepreneurs, creatives, and service-based businesses ready to step out of the “just okay” phase and step fully into the brand they were meant to embody. Together, we dig deep—the values, the vision, the personality that make your business unmistakably yours—and translate that into visuals that tell your story with authenticity and intention.

My approach is collaborative and intuitive—a balance of creativity and strategy. It’s where exploration meets clarity, and every detail has purpose.
