Publisher's Synopsis
This whole HAPPIFY PROJECT thing is the fruit of seven years of living and raveling in the remote islands, jungles, and rain forests of Mexico and Central America. While looking for the answers to some of life's most difficult questions and getting to really know the locals, I discovered something AMAZING!The local people in Mexico & Central America hold the key to happiness! It's so simple and, to them, such a basic and obvious way of living. Over and over again these lovely people challenged my way of thinking. I said things to them and got completely unexpected and sometimes confusing responses until finally, I figured out that their approach to life was totally different than mine. They came from a place of being intuitively and profoundly connected to literally everything! After living closely with these wonderfully happy "poor" people, I realized that their connection to life encompasses four basic areas: Authentic Self, Other People, Nature, and the Supernatural. Soon, with their help, I began to incorporate that connection into my own life.My life was radically changed. The people of Mexico and Central America had given me a great gift. My focus, my perspective, my embracing of simple joy, and my understanding of a deeper, more connected way of living impacted the very core of who I am.And now, I want to take you there. Let me show you the four happy points of connection. And let me show you how you can make important and authentic connections at all four of those points in your own life, no matter where you live. Because we are all in this life together and happiness is our birth-right. Some days, we have just forgotten who we are. Integrating life, Laura
