Robert Holden introduced me to the notion of there being a world of difference between the 'pursuit of happiness' and 'following your joy'. In the show I talk about Robert's work, the purpose of happiness, limits we place on our happiness and how and why we learned to be unhappy. I read from Michael Neill's Feel Happy Now, and Barry Neil Kaufmans' To Love is To Be Happy With'.
Suggested exercise for this week: Take your happiness temperature. How happy are you on a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being unreasonably joyous)? Find a moment or two during the week when you consciously and deliberately raise your Happiness Thermometer just a bit. You don't have to aim for the moon! And you don't need a reason. Notice what it takes to do deliberately raise your level.
