Secrets to Being Happier

Do you ever ask yourself what Happiness is? Hap- from Happiness derives from the Icelandic word Happ, which is also the same root in words such as haphazard or happenstance. Happ basically means luck, chance, God-sent fortune. But can we really leave it up to chance to be happy? Is happiness really something we cannot help to find until it decides to find us?

So now, I've decided to embark on a journey to find my happiness, to answer in my own context what the deal is. That is the essential question, isn't it -- what is happiness and how can I be happy, and then happier?

For this reason, I am now reading the book, Happier, by Tal Ben-Shahar, Ph.D., a Harvard professor of positive psychology.

Some of my following blogs might be journal entries from the book's exercises. So pelase don't mind me. :)
