Be Happier Than a Billionaire...

"Be Happier than a Billionaire" considers the age-old link between wealth and happiness. The book explains why after a certain level of wealth, the link between material well-being and happiness breaks down. Positive psychology recently coined the term "intentional activity". Simply put, this means how well we deal with our circumstances. There is far more scope to increase happiness through intentional activity (80%) than there is through changing your circumstances (20%). By tapping into this happiness potential, it is possible to be happier than the average billionaire (their happiness has actually been measured ). This book lists over 50 intentional activities. Some of these are based on traditions from the major religions of the world. By adopting a number of these into daily routine, life become happier. And what is more enviable than happiness?
