Preface: Who am I to tell you anything?

BEING HUMAN MEANS A SIMPLE LIFE WITH GOOD FAITH AND ACTION

Preface: Who am I to tell you
anything?

The short answer is: I’m someone who has
learned to be happy.


I don’t have a whole raft of patients, research,
or case studies. I’m not a psychologist. I just
have the results of one experiment. I was a
very unhappy person, miserable most of the
time and scared a lot, too. I felt trapped,
suffocated, selfish, mean, inadequate, listless,
exhausted, unable to cope, and perpetually on
the verge of blowing up or freaking out. With
the help of people and books, I learned a lot of
things that helped me become happy and
enjoy my life. I want to pass what I’ve learned
on to you.
Just reading is not enough to make you
happy—you have to take action and change
your life—but I’ve found that understanding
how it all works helps a lot in trying to do
better and feel better.
Whether you feel trapped and miserable, or
your life is basically ok but you’d like to enjoy
it more, I think this knowledge is valuable, and
I hope it will help you improve your life.
