Promotion & Praise for Happiness is More Than a Laughing Matter

“LIFE ISN’T ABOUT FINDING YOURSELF. LIFE IS ABOUT CREATING YOURSELF.” George Bernard Shaw

The first of the two books; HAPPINESS IS MORE THAN JUST A LAUGHING MATTER will show how anyone can choose to improve their outlook, and overall well-being, regardless of one’s nature, and one’s circumstances. It shows that much of your happiness is manageable, and within your power to control and change.

During the course of our lives we spend so much time and energy first, into our many years of formal education, and then into our careers, family, friends, hobbies, households, and other activities and obligations. We get so busy, preoccupied, and sometimes overwhelmed just living our daily lives, most of us never stop to examine the nature of our happiness. Do you have everything you need to be happy? Why is happiness important? What do you really know about it? What are the keys to long term happiness? Are you happy or not, and why? What are the consequences of being unhappy? How does your happiness or unhappiness affect your health, your psyche, soul, spirit, and overall well-being?

These are just a few of the questions that primed Sutton’s initial interest in this subject. Moreover, the answers to these questions, and more, will be examined throughout this book. For something that most people say is the one thing they want most from life, it’s ironic how little amount of time, thought, and education most of us spend on understanding our happiness.

Sutton acknowledges that genuine, sustainable, long-term happiness may not always be easy. For most of us, life is a constant challenge, and often a struggle, marked by disappointment and frustration. It's the nature and existence of our own human frailties that ensures there will always be, to some extent, unrealistic expectations, frustrations, anger, disappointment, and some sadness in our lives. Nevertheless, more happiness can be achieved.

While researching and writing this book, Sutton began to recognize, and you will learn too, that enduring happiness...
