Happiness Quotient!

Can you achieve excellence in the corporate world and still be happy? Find out from a new book called ‘Happiness Quotient’ by Dr Rekha Shetty. “The Indian tradition shows us that positive, radiant happiness is our birthright, and the programme outlined in this book illustrates how to achieve it for ourselves. This book is an investment in life's greatest prize – Happiness,” says Dr Shetty.
 
The author shares with us 10 secrets of eternal happiness: The top 10 happiness mantras for you:
 
1. Each new day holds out a chance to create a whole new beginning, a sparkling new field of possibilities.
 
2. The ecology, the geography of your inner mindspace, is in your hands.
 
3. 'Swayambhu' is a word that describes happiness welling out of you, like an underground stream in the mountains.
 
4. Focus on Stress and unhappiness should be turned upside down Instead of attacking unhappiness, we should plant a garden of happiness, by welcoming the positive emotions into our lives - love, compassion, wonder, courage, laughter and peace.
 
5. Focusing on our unhappiness by attacking it only helps to magnetize more power and attention to the negative person, event or object that causes it. Hence focus on cultivating happy people and avoid toxic people.
 
6. When the garden is clean and blooming and full of life, the snakes of anger have no place to hide; the thorns of greed get cleared away. When the clutter of old hatreds is replaced by order, the flowers of friendship bloom. The scorpions of revenge and jealousy slither away and the butterflies of laughter return to celebrate the flowers.
 
7. Too much television is ‘Tele-visham’ (Tele poison). Too much stimulation, a mindspace crowded by fantasy people and events, distracts you from focusing on your own mindspace, your home, your backyard. "
