About this book

"This majestic book has much wisdom to savor and practical steps to help you navigate life's many forks. I promise it will delight!" —Deepak Chopra
What are the two most important days in your life? "The day you are born and the day you find out why," Mark Twain famously wrote.
The search for happiness is hardwired in our DNA. It transcends age, gender, geography, vocation, and personal circumstances. But how do you achieve it?
Through inspirational storytelling, scientific evidence, practical advice, captivating exercises, and poetry, Dr. Sanjiv Chopra and Gina Vild present a powerful message that shows you how to achieve happiness no matter the challenges and stumbling blocks you face along the way. They also reveal the best way to be happy: Discover and live your life's purpose. It's a sure path to human flourishing. In fact, you may be surprised to learn that living with purpose can even add years to your life.
Do you know your life's purpose? This book offers a path to discovering it by illuminating the value of gratitude, forgiveness, meditation, music, friendship and so much more. It will set you on the right path and spark sustained happiness, joy and bliss.
"The treasures found here illuminate the moment to moment choices we can make to build immunity and well being as we take a stand on what matters most." —Ellen Wingard, Global Leadership Coach for Social Impact
"Grounded in science, [this book] illuminates a path forward with practical and engaging exercises and inspirational poetry." —Andrew Carroll, New York Times–bestselling author and co-founder of the American Poetry & Literacy Project
