Summary

All of us want to be happy. Whether our dreams are about professional success, spiritual fulfilment, a sense of connection, a purpose in life, or love , we cover those things since we believe that they will make us happier. We think, if I just get that raise, or hit that next sales target, I shall be happy. If I can just get that next good grade, I will be happy. If I lose those five pounds, I will be happy and so on. Success comes first, then happiness. The only problem is that this formula is broken. This success-central hypothesis has created a wrong perception of our personal and professional universe. Ground-breaking research in the fields of positive psychology and neuroscience has proven in no uncertain terms that the relationship between success and happiness works the other way around. Thanks to this cutting-edge science, we now know that happiness is the precursor to success, not merely the result.  

Remaking yourself a happier person and living a flourishing and meaningful life is entirely in your hands, if you are willing to bring to bear some effort and commitment, are ready, and only if you understand how to proceed. A Happier You can be taken as the Art of happiness based on the Science of Happiness!
