Studies show us that happiness is contagious, it spreads up to 3 degrees of separation. Increasing your happiness literally makes the world as a whole a little bit happier.
The science of how to be happy is out there, but it's not being taught.
Develop the skills needed to enjoy a happy life.
Happiness is the ultimate goal of virtually every decision that we make.
