Happiness: it's Now or Never

By Peter Harris

This book is about loving your life and becoming Happy Now.
It's a convenient but hard-to-accept fact that happiness is not to be found by trying even harder to get what we want, but by opening up to our Here and Now, which we can enjoy right now. Anything we get after that is a bonus.

Peter Harris

I joined GRID-Arendal as Managing Director in 2014. I am a native of the USA, citizen of Australia and resident of Norway; I describe myself as a “professional foreigner”. I am a graduate of the University of Washington (Seattle USA), completed a PhD at the University of Wales (Swansea UK), married an Australian and have 3 children. I have worked in the field of marine geology and science management for over 30 years and published over 100 scientific papers. I taught marine geology at the University of Sydney and conducted research on UK estuaries, the Great Barrier Reef, the Fly River Delta (Papua New Guinea) and Antarctica. I worked for 20 years for Australia’s national geoscience agency as a scientist and manager. In 2009 I was appointed a member of the group of experts for the United Nations World Ocean Assessment. Apart from managing all of GRID-Arendal’s amazing activities, my interests include new methods for the conduct of environmental assessments (the expert elicitation method) and the use of multivariate statistics and geomorphology to provide tools to manage the global ocean environment. I also enjoy sailing and playing the bagpipes.

Happiness

-It’s Now or Never!

By Peter Harris

Aka the Wizard of Eutopia

A PersonalEpiphany of the secret of Here and Now - the Secret of all true happiness - and probably also, funnily enough, success, and even fame, ‘that elusive bauble’ (to quote Captain Jas. Hook) that got us running down that endless corridor of discontent, unhappiness and overwork in the first place.

How You Too can Be Here Now, and be happy no matter what: no bogus conditions, no delays, no excuses!

The Three Rules to Be Happy Now and live in a state of ‘Eutopia’, a ‘Good Place’.
