About this listen
Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort. Happiness is not a goal ... it's a by-product of a life well lived. ... Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
‘Being happy’ can be thought of as a state in which you are in conscious alignment with your inner nature and the larger Nature outside. Aligning your microcosm with the macrocosm is an ongoing process that acquired momentum as you move forward. It is dynamic, not static.
The kind of happiness described in this book is what naturally occurs when a person is moving towards fulfilling their potential as a human being. What Abraham Maslow called Self-Actualization. We show you how.
There is also the happiness that is inherent with being in what Mihály Csíkszentmihály called the ‘Flow state’, being completely absorbed in a creative endeavour the fruits of which are its reward. We show you how.
We discuss the work of Martin Seligman, a foremost proponent of the positive psychology movement and a leading source of practical advice on being happy.
We don’t dwell on the kind of happiness that comes from eating one’s favourite desert or any other temporary physical pleasure that comes and goes quickly and which loses its appeal when indulged too much. This kind of pleasure is OK as far as it goes, but one should not become addicted to it.
