If that sounds like a contradiction, you simply haven't unlocked the 9 Secrets to Happiness. Each secret takes a common ideal, flips it on its head, and casts it in a completely new light. Neil then goes a step further by providing step-by-step guidelines and hand-drawn scribbles that illustrate exactly how to apply each secret to live a happier life today. Controversial? Maybe. Counterintuitive? Definitely. It will teach you: · Why success doesn't lead to happiness · How to make more money than a Harvard MBA · The Saturday Morning Test, The Bench Test, and The Five People Test · Why multitasking is a myth · How eliminating options leads to more choice.
