The Ultimate Happiness "Textbook" for Everyone!If you weren't raised speaking Greek, would you expect to leave home and instantly be fluent? What about Swahili? Dutch? Japanese? Which begs the question: If happiness wasn't practiced in your home growing up, how would you expect to know it now?

If you're trying to teach yourself how to be happy in your daily life, stop thinking of happiness as an emotion you need to constantly control and start thinking of it as an instinct you can work to develop -- like the language you naturally speak.

Happiness as a Second Language teaches happiness the same way you would learn any language that wasn't spoken in your home. It starts with the most basic practices of being happy, then turns to more complicated techniques, and ultimately to advanced concepts.

Using this book as your guide, you will learn:

• How to introduce yourself as happy
• How to "count to five" in Happiness
• The verbs, nouns and adjectives of Happiness
• Happiness in the past, present, future and "future uncertain" tense
• How to overcome those who actively try to negate your happiness
• Key phrases in your new language, and
• How to work past the setbacks that happen when learning anything new
• Being happy is completely within your reach, but you have to do the work to get there.

This book is the ultimate textbook. The writing is simple and straightforward, the instructions easy to follow, and the sample situations are familiar, touching, often heartbreaking and sometimes hysterical. Start now, and you will be fluent in Happiness before you know it.
