The 5 Pillars of Happiness

What is happiness?

Dan Gilbert, Professor of Psychology at Harvard University discusses the nature of happiness and his work in affective forecasting, which is the process by which people look into their future and make predictions about what they’ll like and what they won’t like.

The first step to achieving a free and fulfilled life is to understand that all life is governed by law – nature, music, art and all of the sciences.  These laws never change, no matter how much things around us seem to be in a state of constant chaos.  To live in harmony with these laws produces vibrant health, engaging relationships, abundant joy, clarity of thought, unparalleled judgment and a fulfilled life.  To violate them produces strife, stress and destruction.  These laws are in operation, whether you are aware of them and understand them, or not.  Much the same as the law of gravity continues working whether you understand it or not.  You may be living a fulfilled life because you understand and abide by these laws, or you may be trapped because you’re subject to a different set of man-made laws.

Through ignorance of the Immutable (Unchanging) Laws of Nature, or the laws of true happiness, much unnecessary unhappiness exists.  Knowledge, understanding and application of these laws lifts your life out of the mediocre and places it on a heavenly plane.  It is the flowers rather than the weeds, the banquet rather than the crumbs.  It remains to me a mystery why most citizens of Western nations choose the crumbs instead of the banquet.  Perhaps it’s because of ignorance.  That’s where my new book, How Life Really Works, can help.

The 5 Pillars of Happiness

The book combines strategies which cover the 5 Essential Pillars of Happiness.  If any of these pillars are unbalanced in your life, you are more than likely living a life of mediocrity – you’re gathering crumbs instead of feasting at the banquet table.

  1. Enjoying good bodily health, free from pain and discomfort to at least age 120, independently of the controlled medical establishment.
  2. Love-life or Relationship Principles and skills, to turn your relationship into a life long love affair.
  3. Absolute Spiritual Truths which promote a true happiness from within, in harmony with the scientifically proven Laws of Nature, based on provable reality, not fables or traditions.
  4. Wealth Creation & Financial Freedom achieved by leveraging your skills, time and effort, allowing you to break free from the shackles of a salaried position.
  5. Freedom, Sovereignty and Privacy strategies to protect and keep what is rightfully yours.
