Everybody always asks if you have a good career, if you’re married, if you have children – like life is a grocery list. Why does no one ever ask us if we are happy? Finding happiness is the Holy Grail of our existence. You can accomplish happiness by identifying and blending the essential happy-inducing ingredients uniquely tailored to you.
