Happiness
with Arthur Brooks

Share with a friend

Can we ensure that we will stay happy through every phase of our lives? Arthur Brooks discovered that there is a clear fork in the road that we will all face at some point. Some of us will struggle to find lasting happiness and the other will only get happier as time passes. The trick is knowing what to do to get on the happy path.

The best part – Arthur tested his theory on himself…and it worked! He offers lots of words of wisdom — and lots words I had to look up — to help guide the rest of us in our quest for personal fulfillment and lifelong happiness.

This is… A Bit of Optimism.

A spark is something quite small and, by itself, not very powerful. But a spark has the ability to ignite. An idea is like a spark; alone it is just a set of words, but it too can ignite. A great idea can inspire others to dream bigger. Let us all work together to ignite something greater than ourselves.

Let us all be a Spark of Optimism.
