Question: What are some things that make you happy?

Sample Answer (The AREA technique):

Answer: Spending time with loved ones, achieving personal goals, engaging in hobbies or activities I enjoy, and making a positive impact on others' lives all make me happy.

Reason: These things provide a sense of purpose, fulfillment, and positive emotions, contributing to my overall well-being and happiness.

Example: Spending time with family and friends, whether through a shared activity or simply having a conversation, brings me joy and a sense of connection. Additionally, achieving a personal goal, such as running a marathon or learning a new skill, brings a sense of accomplishment and pride.

Alternative: What makes a person happy can vary greatly from person to person, and there is no one-size-fits-all answer. Some may find happiness in material possessions, while others find happiness in experiences or personal growth.
