What is happiness? How would you describe it? Is it feeling good or is it the absence of feeling bad? Is it both? Can you control it? Can you trigger and sustain happiness? Happiness may be triggered by different things and may be described differently by different individuals; but I think it's fair to say what we all want is to feel happy. In general, most of us would say good health, a modicum of wealth, and loving relationships would be major components of happi-ness. In short, health, wealth and relationships are all connected to happiness. The search for happiness can be said to drive all human existence. The constant if not consistent release of endor-phins triggered by external stimuli that makes one feel good appears to be the universal goal of our species. Be it trig-gered by love, companionship, affection for family and friends and sports teams, physical activity, humor, food, power, philanthropic pursuits, travel, cars, boats, pets, sex or visual stimuli; I think it is safe to say that the end goal of all human activity is to feel good. A good meal, sharing a warm hug, helping a fellow, receiving a sincere smile, achieving a certain vocational and or economic status that allows one to enjoy the things and experiences that make us feel good drives us, our ancestors and our prodigy forward. It always has and probably always will. That being said, our material achievements almost always ring hollow if we aren't happy. Further, according to a recent Harris Poll, only 1 in 3 Americans consider themselves to be very happy. What does that say about the remaining two-thirds? With these thoughts in mind, a couple of years ago I de-cided to give a go at creating a keynote speech around happiness. I began to talk to people about happiness. I asked if they were happy. The happy people I spoke with had suffi-cient levels of what I call "The Four Factors of happiness" in their lives. The unhappy people simply didn't. Based on this informal research, I created what has become my most popu-lar speech. In fact, each time I delivered this presentation, the majority of the audience would ask to buy a copy of the Happiness Book. But I didn't have a Happiness Book, it was just a speech. So, I decided to turn the Happiness Speech into a book and "The Four Factors of Happiness - Open in case of Emergency" was born. I hope you enjoy it. I hope this book shows how to "Unlock Your Happiness." And when that happens, I hope you share this good news with family and friends. The Four Factors of Happiness Welcome to The Four Factors of Happiness. This is a Happiness Pocketbook designed to carry around and share with others. This is a book about everyday, garden variety, get-up-almost-everyday-feeling-good happiness. It is not a scholarly treatise backed by years and years of empirical re-search. There aren't thousands of test subjects (although we have drawn conclusions from over a hundred or so inter-viewees) from which a 700-hundred page research document has been developed and submitted to the American Psychiat-ric Society or some other august body. The Four Factors of Happiness is simply the result of years of reflection, interaction, observation, conclusions and practice of a happy man. Again, I did perform some objective and subjective research; but there are no tables, charts or graphs that summarize and illustrate my findings. But the research is complete and the results are clear. You can be happy. What I present in these few pages is true and the recommendations do work. You can follow the simple steps I share here to happiness, period. However, I must stress this book is a general guide to happiness. If you have serious physical or mental conditions that limit your ability to be happy, you should consult a trained, licensed professional and address any concerns that may be beyond the scope of this work.

Happiness is a test whether in learning or in success. it is the trial between the different views of life. Happiness will tell you what kind of person you are. It will show your dreams and failure. The more we become acquitted to happiness. the better learning we are going to have. There are times I wonder. How happiness shape our lives? I ask my friends and other people. What are their views on happiness? Some of them say. "Happiness is a gift. Others said. "Happiness is a journey that need preparation in order to experience it." while some of them said. "happiness is a natural feeling of human being." in there different views of happiness, some question came to my mind. what are the factors that make them say those kind of statement on happiness? then the answer came to my mind saying. "every person has different experience of life. they have different wants and needs. and most of all they experience happiness in a different level." as I continue to discover the secret of happiness in our lives. I learn that happiness is a test. and the time we experience it. we must pay attention on it, for us to learn and grow on the knowledge that came from happiness. there are moment that I ponder how can we experience the higher level of happiness. then there are thoughts that came to my mind telling me. "the greater wisdom we have the higher and deeper our happiness will be." and the other thought of my mind is saying. "the heavier trial we have. the more knowledge we can gain." there are time we are too busy on pursuing our goals. and forget the purpose of why we want to achieve our goal. we are driven by the knowledge that the more money we can have the happier we are. this knowledge about happiness is way of deception from adversary of true happiness. in some way money can give us happiness but not to the higher level of happiness. Four level of happiness will help you determine what kind and level you are on your pursuit of happiness in life. Being a child before my knowledge of happiness is very small. as a child before I will be happy for a peso in my hand. I will be happy when I win the game. as I grow I learn some principles that could help me to experience the higher level of happiness. these are the four level of happiness that everyone can attain. childhood happiness. adolescence happiness. adulthood happiness and the fourth is eternal happiness. maybe other will say that there is no level of happiness. cause everyone's happiness is the same. this is one of the reason why I write this book. the other reason I write this is to share what I experience about the level of happiness. some may ask what is the difference of childhood happiness to the adolescence happiness. same to adolescence happiness to the adulthood happiness. some may question about eternal happiness. if there is possibility to experience eternal happiness in this life. I been questioning myself before if there will be difference on those four level of happiness. until the time I experience those four level of happiness and prove to myself that every level of happiness has different needs and want for us to experience it. I been reminded of the saying. "a wise person learn from his experience and the more wiser person learn from the experience of other." if these will be the case to experience the higher level of happiness that will become so easy to attain it. but in the case of happiness it is not like that. we need to experience it before we can say to yourself that we already reach the higher level of happiness. we must keep in mind that we are unique from each other. and have different Ideology about life. our different idea about life has also affected our view on happiness. some people say that. "the real happiness can be found in the home." then a question came to my mind. is there any unreal happiness? I ask my friend. "do you believe that real happiness can be found at home?" he answered. "yes! I believe that the real happiness can be found at home

Drawing on A Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life, the Dalai Lama reveals how learning patience and compassion practices is more essential than ever as we navigate an era of extremism and divisiveness All of the world’s major religions emphasize the importance of love, compassion, and tolerance. This is particularly true in the Buddhist traditions, which unanimously state that compassion and love are the foundation of all paths of practice. To cultivate the potential for compassion and love inherent within us, it is crucial to counteract their opposing forces of anger and hatred. In Perfecting Patience, the Dalai Lama shows how, through the practice of patience and tolerance, we can overcome the obstacles of anger and hatred. He bases his discussion on A Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life, the classic work on the activities of bodhisattvas—those who aspire to attain full enlightenment in order to benefit all beings. This book was previously published under the title Healing Anger.

Further, it examines important public policy considerations, taking into account recent advances in economics, the environmental sciences, and happiness studies. Novel issues discussed include: an environmentally responsible happy nation index to supplement GDP, the East Asian happiness gap, a case for stimulating pleasure centres of the brain, and an argument for higher public spending.

Over the years, as he has encountered 'Western Buddhists', meditation master the Most Venerable Pa-Auk Tawya Sayadaw has seen the need for a thorough explanation of the workings of kamma in English. To that end he has composed The Workings of Kamma. It is a detailed analysis and discussion of the workings of kamma, in accordance with the Pali Texts: Vinaya, suttas, Abhidhamma, and the authoritative commentaries and subcommentaries. First, the Most Venerable Sayadaw gives a detailed discussion of how beings run on from life to life because of a belief in self, founded in craving and ignorance: he explains how those two factors are prime movers in the working of kamma. Next, he gives a comprehensive and practical analysis of the workings of kamma according to the roots of consciousness. That includes a practical and systematic analysis of the three merit-work bases: offering, morality, and meditation. Then, he analyses the ten courses of unwholesome and wholesome kamma: killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, etc., and non-killing, non-stealing, etc. He discusses also the results of kamma: rebirth in hell, as a ghost, animal, human-, or celestial being. Mundane wholesome kamma unique to a Buddha's Dispensation he discusses as knowledge and conduct: necessary for future attainment of Nibbāna. Afterwards, he explains The Buddha's twelve categories of kamma: four for time of effect, four for order of effect, and four for function of effect. And he discusses how they operate over past, future, and present, and how their workings depend also on the achievement/failure of a certain rebirth, appearance, time, and means. Then comes a lengthy discussion of 'The Small Kamma-Analysis Sutta'. There The Buddha discusses how kamma accounts for the superiority/ inferiority of people. Next is a discussion of how a being's kamma 'paints a picture' of a being, who is in fact nothing more than the five aggregates. And finally, there is a detailed discussion of the gradual unworking of the potency of kamma with the insight knowledges leading up to the Stream-Entry Path Knowledge, etc. up to Arahantship. It ends with a detailed discussion of the Arahant's Parinibbāna, and what this means in practical terms. The Most Venerable Sayadaw gives many examples, with continuous reference to the Pali Texts. He cites and explains also the dangers of holding to a wrong view that denies the workings of kamma. And he explains the necessity for seeing the workings of kamma oneself with direct knowledge, explaining that one is otherwise unable to understand the Second Noble Truth: the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering. There is also a detailed analysis of the transition from one life to the next, and many charts help the reader understand the explanations on the practical level of consciousness and mental factors.

If life were a game, what would be the objective? This is a question I have been asking myself, my clients, and my friends for quite some time, with some very interesting responses. Some give a scientific answer to survive and replicate; this is definitely true for the human race to survive. Some say, I dont know, but by far and away, the most common response is to win. I then ask, What does that mean to win? This is where most people get stuck. This to me is like playing a game of soccer and having twenty-two players on the field and none of them really knowing what the objective of the game really is. That would make quite an interesting game to watch. There are very few people, in my opinion, who clearly understand what the main objective is and how to go about achieving this. Most people are simply playing the game not really knowing what their aim is. That is why I felt the need to explore this topic and to share with you what I have learnt.
