    About this ebook

    Happiness is a social construct. This means that it is not given, but can be accessed by any of us if we just take the time and make the effort, if we adopt the right philosophy and behaviour. We can teach ourselves to lead happy lives: there are a few tricks to learn and there is some work to put in, but happiness can be easily achieved. If misery is not fatal, happiness is a true opportunity, so reach out and grab it, it's up to you!

      PRELUDE

      I am no stranger to misfortune, sadness and suffering, I know them well. I have been rubbing shoulders with them every day for years. I worked as an emergency doctor for aid agencies and although death and illness surrounded me daily, I never forgot that the Accident and Emergency ward was above all a place of life; an operating theatre where miracles often happened, and more importantly one of the few places where you could measure the importance of happiness, of savouring every moment of happiness that comes our way, no matter how big or small. This may seem odd, but there is nothing better than death and illness to remind you how precious life is and that happy times should be treasured.

      This book is a guide, and as such each chapter can be read on its own. I do not profess to define exactly what happiness is within the next few pages, everyone will have their own version. For the purpose of this book, let’s take the term ‘happiness’ in its broadest sense. We can simply refer to the word with the accepted definition found in most dictionaries; happiness is a lasting state of completeness and satisfaction.

      This book does not intend to revolutionise the philosophy on happiness, nor to found a new school of thought on the subject. The observations and
