The Happiness Genie
One week before you begin my happiness course, you are sent in the mail a document called 'The Happiness Interview.' The idea is that you set aside one hour to interview yourself on happiness. You are the interviewer - although there is nothing to stop you from pretending that Oprah or another talk-show host is interviewing you. You may wish to do 'The Happiness Interview' alone or with a friend, a partner, or anyone else you are close to. All I ask is that you take a full 60 minutes (or more), that you answer all the questions as honestly as possible, and that you hand in a copy to me on the morning of my first class.
'The Happiness Interview' is a friendly primer that helps you to prepare for your happiness journey over the next eight weeks. It is designed to help you start thinking more consciously and more deeply about the true nature of happiness. The interview includes questions like 'What is your definition of happiness? And are you living it?' And 'Who is the happiest person you know? And what have they taught you about true happiness?' I find that few people have ever given a full hour of their lives to this important subject. And yet, everyone who does this interview gains some valuable insight and knowledge.
'The Happiness Interview' asks you why you want to take the happiness course (or, indeed, why you want to read this book). 'What are you primary intentions and motivations?' Clarity of intention helps you, I believe, to be more receptive and to engage yourself fully in whatever you give yourself to. The interview also asks you to name any hopes or fears you have about the course. This helps me tailor a program that meets the specific needs of the individuals in the group.
The main reason for 'The Happiness Interview' is that I want you to reflect on where happiness ranks in your life. 'How important is happiness to you? And why?' For instance, is happiness a primary life goal for you? Do you ever make happiness a conscious intention at the start of your day? Do you consider happiness to be part of your life's purpose? Right now, is your priority to be happier or to make more money? Do you want to be truly happy, or do you prefer to play it safe? The more you acknowledge the importance of happiness in your life, the more deeply you will want to dive into your happiness inquiry. And the deeper your inquire into the nature of true happiness, the more fully true happiness will reveal itself to you.

We think our future is shaped by big events - the decisions we make, the thoughts we have - but this book will show that it is our daily actions, the things we repeatedly do, that are the key. Repeat an action enough times and it will become a habit, but habits lack thought, consideration and presence. To ensure long-lasting, meaningful change our actions need to be filled with a sense of personal meaning, purpose and power - they need to be ritualized.
Creating personal ritual in our lives allows us to bring the presence of the sacred into the everyday. The rituals in this book have been created and designed as symbolic acts providing a framework for anyone to use to create positive change in their lives. The 7 morning rituals are designed to help you 'wake with determination'; the 7 afternoon rituals focus on 'living on purpose'; and the 7 evening rituals focus on 'retiring with satisfaction'.
