The fundamental drive of all human behavior is the desire to be happy.  Anyone can learn to be happy, but our conventional wisdom about where happiness comes from creates some obstacles.

Human society has accidentally evolved in ways that create anxiety and stress.  Modern life-styles often lead to the pain of depression and anger because the things we do to be happy can inadvertently cause us to find ourselves disappointed by lives that haven’t lived up to our hopes and dreams.  Regardless of the obstacles you face, they can be overcome.  Happiness is closer than you might believe possible.

Happiness is the result of a specific set of skills.  Learning those skills and putting them into practice is a process I call Intentional Happiness.  No matter who you are, no matter what you have experienced, no matter what labels or diagnoses have been put on you, you can be happy.  You just need to know what to do and then put that knowledge into use.  My goal is to provide all the information necessary to put you in charge of your own happiness.

Like you, I did not grow up knowing the keys to happiness.  I have been very fortunate to have had the opportunities necessary to discover where happiness comes from and how to create it.  My goal is to share what I have learned about happiness with you.  (To learn more about why that is my goal, please see About Me.)

My primary method of sharing the things I have learned is through creating positive relationships, because our relationships with other people are the fundamental source of happiness.  In this era of information I use every method I can find to build relationships and share information about creating happiness.

On my Blog I post an ongoing commentary about creating happiness.

My book ”Intentional Happiness“ is being edited and is scheduled for release in early 2012.

I offer Training for individuals and groups.

Please Contact me with any and all questions you have about happiness, suggestions for blog topics, or for information about training options.

See Happiness for the first step in learning exactly what Intentional Happiness is all about.

Thank you for visiting and remember, we are always exactly as happy as we know how to be.
