Can hormones make you happy?
The feelings we experience are nothing more than chemical reactions taking place inside our bodies.
Each and every emotion we experience is the result of the release of certain hormones inside our bodies.
Some hormones are responsible for making us feel good, some are responsible for making us feel bad.
