The Happiness Mindset

News and Today's Updates

Nairobi, 28th June, 2011
I moved this section of my first post here, as I learn to develop my blog I am going to cut and paste - shift things around - and make it easier for you, my reader, to find the information you want and need.

Browse these links, below, to do some research of your own on the hows and whys of attaining happiness:

Is it more important to be psychologically happy or to be realistic and aware of your conditions and the conditions of your environment, before you choose your approach to happiness?  Surely if your happiness is short-lived it could indicate that you may not be totally realistic about yourself and your environment?  Does realism imply being self-centred and fearful of human nature?  Is human nature around you self-centred or compassionate, altruistic and giving?  Or does one have to think about a happy balance between the two, for example 5 on a spectrum between being self-centred and totally self-sacrificing?  What is the value of sacrifice, if any?

Is your MP and are your senior politicians happy because they are realistic or also because their form of realism only determines the extent to which they are willing to compromise their own comfort - where on the scale of 1 to 10 are they in their vaunted aims to serve you?
