What is Happiness? Aristotle answered this by saying “Happiness is the meaning and purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence” Happiness is a choice! It is also attractive, healthy, and being connected, but it takes effort. That being said, what inhibits our happiness? Several factors have a direct impact on our level of life satisfaction and fulfillment, including fear (of change, fear of success, and fear of failure), comparisons, selfishness, the burden of perfectionism, lack of forgiveness (and self-forgiveness), our inner critic, and toxic relationships.
The book, 7 Paths to Lasting Happiness provides both principles and “take action exercises” for individuals to learn from. We find that happiness is not a by-product; it is brought about consciously, when we intentionally make different choices. Thus, the principle of Intentional Happiness can truly make a transformational, lasting change in our lives.
