How of Happiness

I’ve been traveling so much lately that I’ve started to play a little game by guessing what reading material people tend to bring on airplanes. The most frequently sighted book? The Secret.

Is it our genes? Is it where, how, and with whom we live? Or is it entirely something else?

I have two friends, Seth and Michael, and one of them is a lot happier than the other...

Why are some people happier than others? What are the benefits (and costs) of happiness? And is it possible to become happier than you currently are, and to stay that way? These are some of the questions that I hope to address in my new blog – the very questions that I tackled in my recent book, The How of Happiness: A Scientific Approach to Getting the Life You Want.
