Excerpt from Hector And The Search For Happiness, By Francois Lelord:

• Making comparisons can spoil your happiness
• Happiness often comes when you least expect it
• Many people see happiness only in their future
• Many people think happiness comes from having more money or power
• Sometimes happiness comes from not knowing the full story
• Happiness is taking a long walk in beautiful, unfamiliar mountains
• It's a mistake to think happiness is the goal
• Happiness is being with the people you love
• Happiness is know your family lacks for nothing
• Happiness is doing a job you love
• Happiness is having a home and garden of your own
• it's harder to be happy in a country run by bad people
• Happiness is feeling useful to others
• Happiness is being loved for exactly who you are
• People are kinder to a child who smiles (very important)
• Happiness comes when you are feeling truly alive
• Happiness is knowing how to celebrate
• Happiness is caring about the happiness of those you love
• The sun and the sea make everybody happy
• Happiness is a certain way of seeing things
• Rivalry poisons happiness
• Women care more about man about making people happy
