"A pretty good book that won't take you too long…"

Ever read a book that should have been an article? This book is the opposite. You'll find 5+ years of studying happiness, including creating the world's first major in Happiness Studies, teaching a university's first course on happiness, and living with Zen monks, distilled into about 100 pages.

When it comes to happiness you don't need another massive book or 10-day seminar. You need a simple, life-changing idea…

This isn't another collection of abstract theories or fleeting motivation. It's a practical guide designed explain what happiness really is, why it matters, and how it works with a focus on going from intention to action.

Learn how to:

  • Go from knowing to doing with the "Intention-Action Cycle" of behavior change and habit engineering.
  • Improve happiness by focusing on a simple daily B-P-R Checklist (Biology, Psychology, Relationships).
  • Cultivate happiness IN your life (present), WITH your life (past), and FOR your life (future).
  • Make a living while making a life: improve your use of money and find work-life balance.
  • Study and Practice life's most important subject: happiness.

The World's Shortest Book on Happiness will reshape the way you think about well-being and give you the tools to build the life you want. And you may just have a little fun along the way…

Spoiler Alert: The life-changing, simple idea is that happiness is learned (more on this in the prologue).
