Foreword

By Kate Walsh

One of the things I love about the ideas in the Live In Your Happy Place is that I was able to take a habit that I already had, and use it to improve my quality of life and make me happier. As long as I can remember, I have always made lists because I seem to get more done that way. I think a lot of us are raised or socialized to believe that we can’t have fun or do things that make us happy until we check off the things on our list that are tasks. Only then can we relax and enjoy ourselves or give ourselves treats. It’s as if happiness has to be earned. But by putting the things on my list that I love to do, I was still able to get all of the other things done that I needed to do in my day to day life.

What was even more profound for me was in doing the things that make me happy, the things that make me unhappy or that were not truly necessary became very clear to me. And then I could decide if I needed to keep those things, people and relationships in my life, or let them go. I found that the latter was often the case: the more happy I got the less I wanted to be unhappy.

I also loved that the things on my list weren’t always showy or obvious and could be as innocuous as walking my dogs or napping, or sex! It’s so simple, yet so effective and powerful. I hope that when you read this you will love getting happy as much as I have!

Foreword

By Camille Solari

Being happy! Isn’t being happy the most important thing? People say the more complex something is the less workable it is, and I have to say, I couldn’t agree more. With Nancy’s very simple tool, to write down a bunch of things that make you happy and then do them is miraculously workable. I am generally a happy person, but we all run into annoying people and situations and problems in life, and I noticed the moment I feel even slightly less than my perky self, I pull out the list and just do any one of the things that make me feel happy, like listening to Frank Sinatra, or exercising or having a top notch double latte. Works like a charm. This might be the answer to the world’s everlasting struggle of how to be happy.
