The first axis dealt with the concept of happiness among the university student, the main concept in positive psychology, because it has a prominent place in the history of human thought. Everyone in different cultures has sought happiness as the highest goal of life because of its connection to happiness. Positive mood, satisfaction with life and its quality Self-realization and optimism.
The second axis dealt with the causes of unhappiness among the university student to internal causes, as the matter is not without the presence of intrinsic causes that lead the student to problems that hinder his studies and achievement, and these causes vary directly according to the student’s abilities, and among these reasons are the weakness of the effort made by the student and the weakness of the abilities of the student. Lack of prior preparation for academic subjects.
The lecturers have sought to spread the spirit of happiness for students and contentment for the sake of achieving the meaning in life and achieving their goals, which is the product of their ability to delay and grow in a way that makes them able to achieve their lofty goals in the service of our beloved Iraq.
