What if you knew, for a fact, that EVERYTHING you want — from more money and the relationship of your dreams, to a healthy body and business success — depends on you getting happy FIRST?

Most of us want something, in order to get happy. We want more money, less debt, that special person to love us unconditionally, the success of a project or business, physical health, creativity, to look a certain way, achieve certain goals… because we believe that will make us happy.

The Truth About Happiness

Happiness is nothing more than a chemical reaction in the brain and body. It’s literally just chemicals… and the mind gives meaning to it.

Here’s why your success in every area of your life depends on you getting happy FIRST… and then I’ll tell you how to overcome the contradiction of what makes you feel happy — and how to achieve the apparently impossible task of getting happy first, in order to get what you want.

1. When you’re feeling any negative emotion, your brain and body are in a level of the “fight-freeze-flight” emergency state. The same physiological state you would go into if you were in physical danger.

2. The stress chemicals that flood your system while you’re feeling a negative emotion cause certain physiological reactions in your brain and body.
