HAPPY FOR NO REASON

A prolific inspirational author and power-of-intention proponent lists 21 happiness principles she learned from interviews with 100 consistently happy people. Referencing many cutting-edge researchers, she shows how each of us has a physiological happiness set point that we can adjust. Taking control of one's set point from within, instead of waiting for external circumstances to change, creates an optimistic force that makes life enjoyable and full of hope that life's potentials can be realized. Eliza Foss was a perfect choice for reading this well-written blend of social science and inspiration. She understands this kind of writing and knows how to manage her intensity and vocal appeal so that listeners stay fascinated with the possibilities in the author’s message.
