I believe we are all much closer to unlocking our full potential than we may think.
In fact, there are some really good, really simple, and well practiced techniques out there for making ourselves happier. They don’t involve changing yourself, but they might involve changing some of your habits.
During the next 30 days, you will do a bunch of little things that add up and have a snowball-effect on your mood and outlook on life. It’s not that the exercises are easy; some can involve deep introspection. But they are not particularly time consuming (I ask that you be willing to commit an hour a day for the next 30 days, but some will be much shorter), and the rewards are often immediate.
