We all have a base line level of happiness that is governed at least half, in 50 %, by our genetics. There's a role for you, but it's hard for you to find it unless you know it and believe it. If you're somebody who has an incredibly strong positive and negative affect, you're both happier than normal average and unhappier than average. And s a world for you.
How happy are you on a scale of 1-10?
Regardless of what number you answered, the more important question is, what would it take to make that number a 10?

You’ll learn:
- The three ingredients of happiness and how you can make them part of your life.
- Why unhappiness is essential in finding happiness and how you can make peace with unhappiness.
- How you can make achieving happiness easier by understanding who you are and who you are not.
