Theodore Zeldin, Oxford University professor, and author of the book "Happiness" believes that"Being useful to others is a more difficult but better ideal" than being happy without taking into consideration the happiness of others.

He emphasizes that we are not alone. We are with others as we read the books of authors, or having conversations or being influenced by others.

I was glad to see that loving particular people is good for happiness, different from a general love. Happy people experience grief at the loss of a loved one, or at any of the tragedies that can happen. They manage, however to survive and to grow from the experience.

In a physical sense of the vastness of the universe, space is intriguing. There is the challenge of space travel and new horizons, finding new planets and suns and understanding more about the world in which we live.

A wonderful experience in life also happens when you enter a co-active coaching relationship that provides the space for your own growth. There is the one unique place where your own values and goals are discovered, new possibilities, challenges and opportunities are safely explored. The discovery of steps to grow on, visualizing your future and planning to move forward can happen if you want them.

Coaching with your happiness, goals and values as the agenda of each session helps you securely in your own space reach out and enjoy more fully your own life.

"Blink" and Happiness PDF Print E-mail

Thin-slicing gathers the necessary information for a sophisticated judgment in a very short time. This information comes from Malcolm Gladwell's book "Blink". How we think without thinking, to make snap decisions about about live situations, is the relevant topic.

One such situation occurred on this last New Year's Eve.

After sliding one mirrored closet door closed, I heard a strange noise. After sliding the second mirrored closet door closed, I heard a similar noise. Looking up I saw both doors falling toward me. In that split second, I braced my feet, put my arms up, giving with the doors at first so as not to break my wrists, and pushed them back up to standing position and called for help.
