    God wants to laugh with you more often.

    How do I know?

    Ive got two sons I love passionately,

    Benedict and Francis.

    I love it especially when we laugh together.

    And like any father,

    I desire that they live happy lives of love and abundance.

    God is a Father, too.

    Hey, He likes to laugh with you!

    And like any Father, He also desires

    that you live a happy life of love and abundance.

    I dedicate this book to Benedict and Francis,who give me boundless happiness every day.

    And I dedicate this book to you, my dearest friend.

    I love you and I pray for your great happiness.

    Dont Worry, Be Happy

    B before I expin hese seven keys of hppiness,

    yo need o know he mjor reson why mny peope re

    nhppy ody

    T emy f hppiss

    the enemy of hppiness isn sdness.

    the enemy of hppiness isn probems.

    the enemy of hppiness isn oneiness.the enemy of hppiness isfear.

    We rn or ives by fer.

    In Dn Bkers exceen book, What Happy People Know,

    he expins how or body circiry is wired o fer.

    Or brins hve hree prs. the brin sem, he

    mygd nd he neocorex. the more primiive prs of

    or brins, he brin sem (so ced he repiin brin,

    becse repies hve hese for brins) nd he mygd re

    progrmmed for fer.

    Why? Or ncesors needed fer for heir physic

    srviv. Imgine yorsef iving in he widerness wih

    ions, woves nd cobrs rond yo. Dnger rks behind

    every ree nd shdow.

    Once heir brins regiser fer, he endocrine gnds

    prodce fer hormones ced drenine nd coriso. I

    gave them super strength for ght or ight. And in ghting

    or eeing, they exhaust the adrenaline and cortisol in their

    bodies. We nd good. B wh bo s who sy si

    behind desks nd work on compers?

    We si hve he sme fer mechnism.

    B his ime, were no onger frid of ions or cobrs

    behind every ree.

    We frid of or rising credi crd bis.

    Were frid of or boss.

    Were frid of osing or jobs.

    Were frid for or chidren wh wi hppen o

    heir fre?

    Were frid h 35, we no onger ge mrried.

    Were frid we grow oney.

    Were frid we rn o of money.

    Were frid of soci rejecion.Were frid of soci shme nd osing fce.

    Were frid of disese.

    and hese fers re so re, or endocrine gnds

    prodce drenine nd coriso s we. B becse were

    seed behind or desks, ponding on or compers, we

    rey don se p ny of i. adrenine nd coriso become

    poison in or bodies, desroying or heh bi by bi.

    ths, very few peope re hppy.

    Concsion: If we wn o be hppy, we need o

    overcome or fers.

    How?

    Becse fer deep so serch, I reized how my ife

    ws rn by mny fers. Mny of he hings I ws doing I did

    becse of fer!

    I fered wh oher peope sid bo me.

    I fered fire.

    I fered ngry peope.

    I fered bo no hving enogh.

    I fered bo no being enogh.

    In my ife, Ive discovered h here is ony one hingh cn overcome fer.

    there is ony one hing h is more powerf hn

    fer.

    the ony nidoe o fer is love.

    When you ll your life with love, your fears naturally

    dispper.

    Im king bo ove for God, ove for ohers,

    ove for yorsef, nd ove for ife isef. the Bibe sys,

    Perfec ove css o fer.4

    In fc, remember he Seven Secres of Hppiness I

    ised bove?

    Every singe one of hem is rey fce of ove. andeach tool can drive away a specic fear in your life.

    Once your fears are gone, happiness will ood your soul.

    hppiss Is By-Prdut,nt t Prdut

    So let me share with you my rst important discovery:

    these exremey hppy peope didn become hppy

    becse hey serched for hppiness. they never ook on

    ife projec enied, My go in ife is o be hppy!

    Insed, happiness was a by-product of their search for

    something else.

    and wh is h somehing ese?

    a he end of he dy, is ove in whever

    mnifesion yo seek i.

    and he Seven Secres of Hppiness? these re rey

    seven mnifesions of ove. (there re mny more, Im

    The Businessman andthe Fisherman Whos

    Happier?

    One day a sherman was lying on a beautiful beach with his

    shing pole propped up in the sand and his solitary line cast out

    into the sparkling blue surf.

    He was enjoying the warmth of the afternoon sun and the

    prospect of catching a sh.

    About that time, a businessman came walking down the

    beach trying to relieve some of the stress of his workday. He noticed

    the sherman sitting on the beach and decided to nd out why this

    sherman was shing instead of working harder to make a living

    for himself and his family.

    You arent going to catch many sh that way, said the

    businessman to the sherman, you should be working rather

    than lying on the beach!

    The sherman looked up at the businessman, smiled and

    replied, And what will my reward be?

    Well, you can get bigger nets and catch more sh! was the

    businessmans answer.

    And then what will my reward be? asked the sherman,

    still smiling.

    The businessman replied, You will make money and youll

    be able to buy a boat which will then result in larger catches of

    sh!

    And then what will my reward be? asked the sherman

    again.

    The businessman was beginning to get a little irritated with

    the shermans questions.

    You can buy a bigger boat and hire some people to work for

    you! he said.

    And then what will my reward be? repeated the

    sherman.

    The businessman was getting angry. Dont you

    understand? You can build up a eet of shing boats, sail allover the world and let all your employees catch sh for you!

    Once again the sherman asked, And then what will my

    reward be?

    The businessman was red with rage and shouted at the

    sherman, Dont you understand that you can become so rich

    that you will never have to work for your living again! You can

    spend the rest of your days sitting on this beach looking at the

    sunset. You wont have a care in the world!

    The sherman, still smiling, simply looked up, nodded and

    said: And what do you think I am doing now?

    The Greatest Joy of Life

    Lovly soy, ig?

    Bu my I ok gin ol in is lovly soy?
