Happiness Expert? Is that even a job?


Happiness expert Dr. Robert Holden has some advice on how to live a more satisfying life. Dr. Holden says the key to being happy is overcoming "destination addiction," which he defines as "living in the not-now."

"It's always about tomorrow, so you're chasing 'more,' 'next' and 'there,'" he says. "You promise yourself that when you get there, you'll be happy. And I promise you, you won't, because you'll always set another destination to go for."

Instead, Dr. Holden says if you are unhappy with your life or looking to improve your score, there are two things you can do. "We have to learn to let go of our past, we have to give up all hopes for a perfect past. Let the past go, it's gone." After that, he says, "Take a vow of kindness. Be kinder to yourself and to others.

"It's never too late to be happy," he says.

Eu estava procurando no google a trilha sonora do filme "tudo acontece em Elizabethtown" (filme q eu adoro) e sem querer encontrei o seu blog numa página de 2008 e posso dizer que me encantei pelo pouco que li sobre vc, apesar de tão jovem vc tem uma percepção e uma escrita tão madura.
Enfim, só queria elogia-la!
