2. How to be Happy -Introduction
A lot of people have a belief that happiness is about having more, this
is the root of the problem in a lot of cultures, especially here in the
United States.
Happiness really is highly related to two areas:
1. Be Thankful - Being Gracious for everything you have and being
optimistic about future events rather than worried about Negative
events.
2. Sense of Community - Forging good honest relationships with
people who are good for you. Be Careful who you include in your
life.
