Relationships - The Key to Happiness

Thursday, May 17, 2018

Since I started this website I have included relationships as one of the keys to happiness.

In fact, if you have spent any time here at BeHappy101.com, you may have read about my "3 R's" of Happiness, where the first "R" stands for Relationships.

Well, a new 75-year Harvard study has shown that relationships are actually the key to happiness.

Here is the bottom line:

The clearest message that we get from this 75-year study is this: Good relationships keep us happier and healthier. Period.”
- Robert Waldinger, director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development

So, it's that "simple". Relationships are the key to a happy, healthy life. Click here to read a wonderful article about the Harvard study results and click on the “Read More” button below to get lots of great information on relationships and happiness.

A Note on Health

Tuesday, March 27, 2018

As the first quarter of 2018 comes to an end, one thing I want to focus on it health.

It’s hard to believe how fast time is racing by these days, isn’t it?

Because of this, as we age, health becomes increasingly important, especially since it seems every year goes by in the blink of an eye.

So, for this brief post, I just want to start you thinking about health by using what I posted this week for the BeHappy! Thought for the Day...

The Olympics and Happiness

Sunday, February 18, 2018

As you probably know, the 2018 Winter Olympics are happening now in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

I love the Olympics.

Ever since I was a little boy of 7 or 8 I have been watching the Olympics. It is not only inspirational for me, it involves some great neuroassociations.

The athletes who make it to the Olympics are the best in the world. They have worked very hard their entire lives to make it, and most are just happy to be there, even if they have little chance of winning a medal. But what about those who are only happy if they win a medal - or even only if they win gold? It's an interesting (and complicated) situation.

Belated Happy New Year!

Monday, January 29, 2018

Well, January is basically over and I am just getting to my “Happy New Year” post. That’s the way life is sometimes - busy and intense.

Well, because it’s the end of January, most people have already set goals for 2018 and are well into the process of making this year the best, happiest year ever. I hope that’s you.

If you’re not one if those people, though, it’s not too late to get that process going. And, if you haven’t done it because you just don’t really know how, then you must read the 5th and 6th Parts of my “Holiday Happiness Series” by clicking on the “Read More” button below. And don’t be put off by the “Holiday” title since the holidays are now a distant memory. It’s still applicable and not about the holidays. It’s about making this year the year you want it to be (Part 5 is about setting goals and Part 6 is about figuring what really will make you happy – not only this year, but in life). So, even if you know how to set your yearly goals, it’s important you refresh your understanding of how to make sure your goals are achieved (and that you know the best goals you need to make you happy and “successful”). So, click on the “Read More” button to make that happen.

Also, for those who did set goals (or even those of you who do “New Years Resolutions), it’s still worth reading so that your goals stay on track (or your resolutions become goals – you’ll see the difference when you read the article). So, for all of you, click on the “Read More” button, too.

Back to Basics: What is Happiness (for you)?

Wednesday, August 23, 2017

One of the reasons most people are not truly happy (or at least as happy as they could be) is because most people don't know what happiness really means. Most importantly, most people don't know what happiness means to them personally (see my blog post below titled "What Would Make YOU Truly and Totally Happy?".

Everyone is different, so what might make me happy in life may be completely different from what makes you happy. Do you know what happiness really means to you?

To add to what was discussed in the previous post, today I put out the next edition of the BeHappy! Newsletter, which discusses this topic in detail. So click on the "Read More" button below to get your FREE subscription to the newsletter so every other month you can get great information, advice, and tips to live your happiest possible life.

It Has Been A While

Tuesday, July 25, 2017


Well, despite my greatest intentions, I have not kept up with my planned series on happiness here at the BeHappy! Blog. In fact, it has been two months since I posted anything. For that, I apologize.

It's a crazy time of life right now (mostly good stuff) and I just have had too much going on (like focusing on my new role as the CEO of a cannabis-based pharmaceutical company, called Emerald Health Pharmaceuticals, and spending the past month in Spain). Even my "daily" Thought for the Day has only changed a few times since May.

My plan is to get back to it all soon. Since I don't want to overcommit, though, I may start doing a "Thought for the Week" (rather than a "Thought for the Day") and put up a new blog post once a month (at least for the next few months). Then, once things get a bit smoother for me, I'll get back to a more frequent schedule.

Again, I apologize for the absence. Hopefully all the other great content here at BeHappy101.com has been enough to provide the tips and strategies to help you live your happiest possible life.

What Would Make YOU Truly and Totally Happy?

Sunday, May 21, 2017


As we get into this several month process to total and true happiness, let's get back to basics by defining what happiness really is - for you as an individual.

If you look in the dictionary, you'll find something like this as a general definition of happiness: "A consistent state of well-being characterized by frequent, long-lasting emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy."

That's a "nice" definition in general, but what we really need is a specific understanding of what happiness means for each of us individually. That's the first step for all of us. We need to know what happiness really means for each of us as a person. And, it's different for everyone.

So, that's what the next several weeks here at the BeHappy! Blog will address. It's a "formula" for happiness that starts by determining your own personal definition of happiness.

So, as a start, click on the "Read More" button below to learn a bit about the meaning of happiness for you and we'll get into it further in the next post. Until then...

The New BeHappy! Blog Series Begins...

Tuesday, May 9, 2017

This blog post begins an important series of strategies (and actions) involving every aspect of our happiness.

Over the next few months, my plan is to introduce you to many of the essential concepts which create happiness (or destroy it) in our lives – and provide some simple concepts, important tools and effective products which, if practiced and used regularly, will improve your life significantly by making you happier, healthier, and wealthier (if that’s something you want).

You won’t be surprised to know that in this first post of the series, my main recommendation is to get a free autographed copy of my book – simply called BeHappy! (pictured above) – which will guide you through a step-by-step process toward building a foundation of happiness that will last your entire life.

By getting this free gift, I’ll also give you a copy of my two ebooks, called Be Happy at Work and A Guide to Healthy Living (pictured below), which we will use later in the series. So, for this first post in the series, the assignment is to click here to get the free autographed copy of my book sent to your door and my two ebooks sent to your inbox.

Since you'll get the two ebooks immediately, you'll be able to read those before the next blog post and you'll be on your way to health and happiness.

Then, in the next post, I'm going to start the process of building a foundation for happiness by helping to figure out what happiness really means to you personally, since we really can't be truly happy if we don't know what it is that will make us totally happy. So click here to get the 3 free books now.

Children, Parents, and Happiness

Friday, July 1, 2016

Children can provide the most joy imaginable. As a parent, I know this first-hand. Recent statistics, however, show that, in general, couples with children (i.e., parents) are not as happy as couples without children. This is especially pronounced in the United States, where most parents say they always feel “rushed”, especially working parents.

Why are parents less happy?

Well, there are many reasons. First, from an “external” perspective, many countries (like the U.S.) have relatively poor social policies supporting parents (NOTE: Parents in a few countries around the world report being as happy or even happier than non-parents. These countries include Russia, France, Sweden, Norway, Spain, Hungary and Portugal. Part of the reason for this is that these countries have better social policies supporting mothers and fathers). From a more “internal” perspective, though, most parents worry about their kids. And, worry creates unhappiness (one of my favorite quotes is “worry never changes the course of tomorrow, it just saps the joy out of today”). Also, children are expensive, which puts more financial pressure on most couples (and financial pressure is one of the leading causes of fights between couples). And, there are other effects on a couple’s marriage. Many times sex is much less frequent (even non-existent), and there is much less time for couples to be alone together. “Dates” need to be scheduled, babysitters hired, and on and on.

So, what should parents do?

Well, that’s what this website is all about. It’s for anyone who needs to be happier – whether you are a parent or not.

It’s the same for everyone. Very simply, know and practice my “Happiness Formula”.

Just click here to learn more about it - especially if you are a parent and need to increase your level of happiness.

Drugs, Drugs, and More Drugs

Wednesday, May 4, 2016

It’s been a while since I have written about this topic, but over the past 3 months my mother has been in the hospital, initially for congestive heart failure. But, since she was admitted, she has had many other issues, including a bowel infection, a knee joint infection, kidney failure, a blood clot in her leg, and a stroke.

During all this, my family and I have been increasingly angered by the many drugs “pushed” on her by several doctors – many unnecessarily, and all with major negative effects.

As I wrote in my article called, "Let’s Get Everybody on Drugs", it is now even clearer to me that our health care system is out of control. Doctors, hospitals, and the pharmaceutical industry are contributing to our terrible health and, in some ways, are literally killing us. As a physician myself, I am apalled by what the system has become.

The bottom line is that my mom went in for one thing (congestive heart failure), was given multiple drugs by many different doctors, many of which were either unrelated to her main illness or designed to address the terrible side effects of some of the other drugs prescribed, then suffered from even more negative side effects from those drugs, and was therefore just given even more drugs to deal with those side effects (which then caused even more negative effects – and on and on). It’s just awful.

But it goes much deeper than this. And, admittedly, doctors are not all to blame. They are taught to “treat” symptoms with drugs. They are “conditioned” to habitually and almost “reflexively” prescribe medication at the first sign of a symptom or health issue. And, conversely, they are not taught to reduce the underlying causes of the symptoms first.

It gets a bit complicated from here, since it is now being determined that much of our terrible health these days is due to one thing – inflammation in our bodies. And, importantly, in addition to our very poor diet, that inflammation is made worse by many of the drugs sold by pharmaceutical companies and prescribed by doctors.

Because of this, I’ve written a simple e-book called, “A Guide to Healthy Living”, which explains it all – and helps provide solutions on how to eliminate the inflammation from your body, live longer, be more fit, and minimize the chances of getting a chronic disease later in life (like cancer, obesity, heart-disease, diabetes, high-blood-pressure, Alzheimer’s Disease, and even depression).

Click on the “Read More” button below to get a FREE COPY of my ebook, “A Guide to Healthy Living” as a gift from me to help you get the best health information available, so you don’t end up getting treated like my mother someday.

Build Your Own Money-Making Website

Monday, April 25, 2016

As a visitor to BeHappy101.com, you probably know that one of the first things you need to do before you can be truly happy in life is to know your personal Definition of Happiness.

So, again, If you haven't already done so, read the January 19th blog post below called "What is Happiness?" (or click here to find out your personal Definition of Happiness).

If part of your Definition of Happiness includes "money", "income", or "wealth", then, as I suggest throughout the financial sections of this website, it is important that you create multiple streams of income as part of your financial strategy. Also, read the October 7th, 2015 blog post below to understand the concept of "money and happiness".

One quick and simple way to build a steady, passive income is by building a money-making website related to a topic you love, and making it into a business that runs on autopilot.

I have been able to get all visitors to BeHappy101.com FREE access to a new software that is taking the internet by storm. It's called ClickFunnels, and it allows you to build a website in less than an hour. And, yes, you can stay making money right away.

New Health Discovery Can Make You Live Longer, Healthier & Happier

Wednesday, March 23, 2016

Imagine life without disease and the need for chronic medication.

Well, researchers have discovered a way to “flip a switch” inside our body’s cells which make it virtually impossible for many chronic diseases to exist in those cells.

Not only that, if you already have diseased cells, this discovery could make them disappear as if they never existed at all.

What’s amazing is that there are rules (partly stemming from the FDA and the pharmaceutical industry) that blocks access to this technology and prevents most health experts from even talking about it. [Read my article, “Let’s Get Everybody on Drugs” to understand more about how the pharmaceutical industry isn’t really motivated to “cure” people or even make us healthy – and, if you do nothing else, get my ebook, A Guide to Healthy Living for just $1.99 by clicking here, or get a FREE copy by clicking here.

The discovery is available to all of us, so click on the “Read More” button here to learn about this technology and how you can live longer, healthier and happier – without diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and many others.

The "3-R's" of Happiness (The Final "Foundational" Element)

Tuesday, March 15, 2016
Getting back to the "foundations" of happiness, the next step is what I call "The Fundamental 3-R's of Happiness". It is all described fully in my book (BeHappy!) which you can get free (and autographed) by clicking here (just pay shipping) and in my "Happiness Formula" (check out the free 5-Part Happiness Formula video course by clicking here).

To review, this "Happiness Formula" begins with "eliminating unhappiness" from your life (see the February 9th blog post below on "Eliminating Unhappiness"). Then, before doing anything else, it is essential to understand what happiness means to you, personally. I call it your "Definition of Happiness". If you haven't already done so, read the January 19th blog post below called "What is Happiness?" (or click here) to find out your personal Definition of Happiness. Then, there is contribution, which I described as the next foundational element in the February 22nd blog post below.

The final piece (actually 3 pieces) of the foundation is this "3-R's" concept, which you can learn all about by clicking on the "Read More" button below.

Contribution: The Next Foundational Element of Happiness

Monday, February 22, 2016
This week let's get back to my series on the "foundational" elements of happiness.

As a reminder, we started the series with an introduction to my "Happiness Formula" (check out the FREE 5-Part video course by clicking here).

In the video course, the "Happiness Formula" I go through begins with "eliminating unhappiness" from your life (see the February 9th blog post below). Then, before doing anything else, it is essential to understand what happiness means to you, personally. I call it your "Definition of Happiness". If you haven't already done so, read the January 19th blog post below (or click here) to find out your personal Definition of Happiness.

Now, once you've started with those first two foundational elements of happiness, the next part of the "formula" is contribution. And, as Robert Kennedy said in the quote above, you're happiest when you are contributing. In fact, as with the other "foundational" elements of happiness, we really can't be truly happy unless we are contributing.

Dealing with Tragedy and Adversity

Monday, January 25, 2016


My plan for this week's blog post changed over the weekend when my brother-in-law (my wife's brother) died tragically when he was struck by a car while walking home Saturday morning. He was only 48 years old.

My intent, as described in last week's post, was to start a happiness-building "series" based on the fundamental factors associated with happiness in life.

Well, because of our tragedy this weekend, I've decided instead to use this week's post as a reminder that dealing with tragedy and adversity is a crucial part of being happy.

The events of this weekend reminded me of how I asked myself if I could ever be happy again when my father died unexpectedly way back in 1982, when he was just 56 years old (I was in my early 20's). Similarly, this weekend our family lost a brother, son, father and husband - and many of these people are asking themselves the same question.

Fortunately, I know (first hand) that happiness is still possible (and even likely) after this kind of adversity, mainly by doing the fundamental things needed to live a happy life, regardless of the circumstances.

So, before starting to explore these foundation elements of happiness, click on the "Read More" button below to get a lesson (or reminder) on how to deal with the tough times in life - even if they are major tragedies. Then, next week we'll get back into the series on happiness-building fundamentals.

What is Happiness?

It's only 3 weeks into the new year and the holidays are almost a "blur".

What now? How will 2016 be for you? How has it started off?

Well, one of my goals for 2016 is to do whatever it takes to help more people be happy! And to do that, let's get back to basics by defining what happiness really is.

"Cherish Others"

Wednesday, December 2, 2015

As those of you who visit this website regularly may know, every day (365 days a year) I put up my “BeHappy! Thought for the Day” on this site. It’s a quote or message about happiness or one of the components of a happy life, such as relationships, success, motivation, spirituality, health, or wealth.

Well, I came across a powerful message recently, which some claim was written by Steve Jobs (the founder and former CEO of Apple Computer) in the days before he died of cancer. Others, however, don’t believe it was written by Steve Jobs.

Regardless of who wrote it, though, I’m sure you’ll agree it’s very moving and contains an important and inspiring message we should all take to heart.

A Formula for Happiness

Weekly Blog Post: Tuesday, September 29, 2015


With the "foundation" for happiness built over the past couple of months of posts (see the various posts below if you haven't gone through the process), I want to take this week to review a "tool" I created a while back. I call it "The Happiness Formula" and it basically summarizes (and uses) much of what was addressed in the the past few months of "foundation building" into a simple mathematical formula.

You can use the formula at the beginning of your happiness journey to know where you're starting.

Are you not very happy right now? Are you somewhat happy, but want (or need) to be happier? Are you very happy, but just have a few things in your life you'd like to be better?

Well, this formula will give you the answer (basically your "happiness score") which you can then use to monitor your progress over time.

So, click on the "Read More" button here to learn the formula and then use it to create a happier life.

Create Your Life's "Happiness Plan"

Weekly Blog Post: Monday, September 14, 2015


So, the "foundation" to total and lifelong happiness is almost laid based on the steps described over the past couple of months in this "BeHappy! Blog".

This is now the final step in the five part series I've written which I describe in my book - BeHappy! (which you can get FREE by clicking here).

Hopefully you have gone through the first four steps and, if so, you have confirmed (or discovered) your true identity (blog post 6/30/2015).

Then, in the July 6th blog post, we went into the concept of your purpose in life, another foundational element of happiness, and you discovered "why you are here" and "what you are meant to do".

Next, in the July 28th post, you explored your life's passion(s) and what you really love to do - both in your life and in your “work” or career (click here to get my ebook, “BeHappy! at Work” to learn to love your work. NOTE: you can get this ebook free, too, when you order your free autographed copy of “BeHappy!” by clicking here).

Sorry for Missing the Past Two Weeks

Thursday, July 23, 2015




Hi there...

I'm really sorry I've missed the past two weeks of blog posts. We have been out on our boat for past couple of weeks on a little vacation in a remote location off Catalina Island, California (that's a picture above that I took a couple of days ago). We had no internet service where we were, but I'm back on the mainland now, so I'll continue the series I started a few weeks ago on the "foundational elements" of happiness.

Again, my apologies for missing the past couple of posts. I'll be back to you next week.

Who Are You?

Weekly Blog Post: Tuesday, June 30, 2015



Do you know who you really are?

Do you know your purpose in life, your true passions, and your own personal Definition of Happiness?

If not, it's very unlikely that you are truly happy right now - and even worse, that you can ever be really happy.

So, I'm starting a four or five part series with this week's blog post, which will take you through the "foundational" elements I describe in my book - BeHappy! - and which will lead you through a process toward complete lifelong happiness.

A Great Way to Feel "Happy" Throughout the Day

Weekly Blog Post: Tuesday, April 7, 2015

There are many "products" that can help us feel better (and be happier).

One of the best products I've found to feel "happier" throughout the day is a digital picture frame (pictured here).

We got one a while back and it's amazing how it can put a smile on your face every time you look at it.

We load hundreds of our favorite pictures on it of us having fun, traveling, being with friends and family, and just our life - and it runs continuously throughout the day, creating little "happiness moments" constantly. And it's not just a superficial happiness like you might think. It's a neuroassociation process that "wires" your brain with positive feelings.

So, get one for yourself by clicking here now and then click on the "Read More" button here to check out some other great "happiness-building" products to help you live your happiest possible life.
