- The Happiness Myth:
If we work hard and become successful, we will be happy.
From a young age, most of us are taught that if we work hard, then we will be successful; and once we are successful, we will be happy. Most of us are completely guilty of this myth and live by what I call the 'when-then' mindset
When I get an 'A', then I'll be happy.
When I get this house, then I'll be happy.
When I finish this program, then I'll be happy.

The Happiness Truth:
If we are happy, we are more successful

Happiness gives us a huge competitive advantage-and it has great side-effects.
BE HAPPY BE HEALTHY
