The Art of Happiness
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
True happiness is the inner joy that comes from within and radiates out to you and others – therefore an external stimulus is involved. Happiness is the soul’s joy and the possession of that which you cannot see but feel. It is psychological. It is neither of the mind nor of the body, but the spirit. But to seek happiness is to seek to radiate kindness, joy and love to others. It nourishes your soul – your natural state of well being. Happiness is a positive emotion so when you feel uplifted, it’s because the positive influence from the factors that determine happiness (on pie chart) leads to a positive emotion of fulfillment. This could be contentment as is true happiness (psychological state of mind). It could also be from positive emotions of other nature; pleasure, satisfaction or gratification. Remember that pleasure means that there is need for an external stimulus or source, unlike contentment.

About the Author
Dr. Alfred Nkut, M.D., is an accomplished physician, entrepreneur, and philanthropist with avid interest in leadership. His experience has shown him that self-improvement, especially development of character goals, is not emphasized in most formal educational systems. For this reason, he grew increasingly interested in studying, learning, growing, and researching to provide additional insight into the subject of leadership. Dr. Nkut sees every day as an opportunity to add value not only to his own life, but to the lives of others as well. He has founded the Skylimit Corporation to make a difference in the lives of people, and a financial institution in Cameroon, West Africa with the goal of poverty relief. The more he learns and understands the area of leadership and success, the more passion he has for sharing that knowledge and for encouraging those who wish to improve their lives. He knows of no better way to get a kick out of life than to give, because for him giving is receiving; it is love --and that's how you make your way to "heaven." Dr. Nkut and his wife, Dr. Elaine Blacklock, both practice medicine in Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, and are proud to call the city home along with their children Jacob and Ruthie.
