The right hemisphere.

Explanation:

As we know, the human brain is divided into two hemispheres and, depending on the person, one is more "active" than the other, more predominant. Thinking about the differences between the two hemispheres, the emotional brain (right hemisphere) controls people's intuitive, creative and emotional functions. While the rational brain (left hemisphere) controls more rational and analytical functions. For this reason, we can say that if you are feeling happy and happy, research on brain activity would indicate that processing is taking place mainly in the right hemisphere of the brain.

The limbic system is a set of brain structures, not a separate system which is located on both sides of the thalamus and it includes structures from the telencephalon, diencephalon, and mesencephalon. This system is involved in feeling the emotions such as joy and happiness. For example, nucleus accumbens is part of the limbic system and it is involved in reward and pleasure that can make happiness.

Besides that, the precuneus (located in front of the upper portion of the occipital lobe) is involved in feeling happiness. Scientists have shown that there is a positive correlation between the volume of grey matter in the right precuneus and the subject's subjective happiness score.
