Chapter 1. Choose Happiness

It is easy to choose to be happy. The difficult part is how to actually live happily in spite of almost everything in life that conspires and threatens to unleash misery and discontent.

Chapter 2. What Is Happiness

Happiness is a state of mind that those with the right skills and attitude can somewhat control. However, it is clear that some people are born more optimistic and cheerful, and are more likely to find happiness in their lives most of the time. Some people are even born lucky, and have the wherewithal as well as a network of  extensive physical and emotional support to be happy.

Looking at human history in its entirety, it is amazing to note how humans can be so rational and yet so irrational. Equally amazing is how humans can be so thoughtful and yet so emotional. This great dichotomy of humans has a great impact on how life is lived. It certainly is clear that humans require constant, proactive, skilful and creative management of their volatile human emotions to achieve happiness and success in life.

How life is lived depends to a great extent on personal attributes, personal attitudes, mental abilities, mental stability, skills, knowledge, as well as problem-solving mindset.

We all have it within us to successfully navigate this great maze of life and to succeed spectacularly in so many different ways. But to be effective in this endeavour, certain key principles must be recognized and followed.
