About this listen
"The moments of happiness we enjoy take us by surprise. It is not that we seize them, but that they seize us." (Ashley Montagu)
Most people mistakenly believe that you can “buy happiness”. This is most widely recognized when someone says, “I will be happy when…” They’re gambling their future happiness on events they can’t control. As a result, many people today are living quiet lives of desperation.
Happiness is an emotion. Like every emotion, it comes and goes. A static state of being happy forever doesn’t exist. And therein lies the great lie around happiness. The excellent news for you is that with a little effort, you can learn to examine your emotions (even the scary ones!) to find their essential core, which is where the most opportunity for growth is!
As you discover what your emotions tell you, you’ll uncover the essence of what you truly love in life. Inside The Joy Cycle, you’ll follow this process by reflecting on your emotions, the gratitude they trigger, and the joy this creates in your life. As you repeat that cycle over and over, you’ll finally begin to experience and comprehend that elusive goal of Happiness.
About the Author:
Brent Neilsen is on a crusade to spread the most essential currency in the world: joy. It is universal, but it only grows when it is shared. Join the movement and spread joy to those in your world.

Shetty grew up in a family where you could become one of three things—a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure. His family was convinced he had chosen option three: Instead of attending his college graduation ceremony, he headed to India to become a monk, to meditate every day for four to eight hours, and devote his life to helping others. After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would have more impact on the world if he left the monk’s path to share his experience and wisdom with others.
