Objective: To examine whether engaging in multiple enjoyable activities was associated with better psychological and physiological functioning. Few studies have examined the health benefits of the enjoyable activities that individuals participate in voluntarily in their free time.
One of the simplest enjoyable emotions is amusement. Most of us like to be amused by something that we find funny; some of us are very amusing, with jokes effortlessly flowing forth.
Relief is the enjoyable emotion felt when something that had strongly aroused our emotion subsides. Unlike most other emotions, relief requires that there has been a preceding non-enjoyable emotion, typically fear.
Haidt (2000) suggests the term elevation for the enjoyable emotion felt when one witnesses unexpected acts of human goodness, kindness or compassion. It may motivate us to engage in such acts ourselves.
I am fairly convinced that the face does not provide distinctive signals for each of these enjoyable emotions. Some version of what I have termed the Duchenne smile (1990) is seen in all of them although the temporal dynamics and intensity of the smiling may vary. Instead, I have proposed (1992) that it is the voice that provides the distinctive signal for each of them. Think for a moment of the sound of relief versus the sound of amusement. Scott and Calder have to date identified a different vocal signal for the four enjoyable emotions they studied. I believe more will be found.
These enjoyable emotions motivate our lives; they cause us to do things that by and large are good for us. They encourage us to engage in activity that is necessary for the survival of our species, including reproduction and facilitating the growth of children. Along with Tomkins (1962), I believe the pursuit of enjoyment is a primary motivation in our lives. But which enjoyable emotion do we most pursue? Each of us can experience all of these emotions, but most of us are specialists, craving some more than others. People organize their lives to maximize the experience of some of these enjoyments.
Are there really 16 enjoyable emotions? Only research that examines when they occur, how they are signaled, and what occurs internally, can answer that question. For now I believe that we should investigate every one of them. If we are using a memory task we should not ask someone to remember a happy experience, but should specify which of these happy experiences we want them to retrieve. If we are trying to identify the signal, vocal, facial or postural, we should no longer ask people to pose happiness, but instead ask the person to pose amusement, or relief, etc. It is only by making such distinctions that we will discover how many need to be made.
Instead, forget the end destination and begin a journey. Your journey must be enjoyable, endless and easy. It is along a journey that your productive habits will form. A journey sounds something like this:

A healthy diet should be enjoyable as well as providing a good balance of nutrients. Dietary advice should provide alternatives so that everyone can achieve a diet which is both healthy and enjoyable. The emphasis is on balance and quantity rather than advising complete avoidance of any particular food.
