“The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.“  -- William James, Father of American Psychology

Modern science is proving that happiness is good for your health and that happiness depends mainly on your state of mind.  Furthermore, your state of mind is greatly affected by mental and behavioral habits--habits that can be learned.  (One of the most popular new classes at Harvard University deals with these "happiness habits.")
