TO be honest, when I read the title of the video you can access below - 'Find Happiness Now' - I thought it was a little bit trite.
It reminded me of the many self-help books that are generally derided by the popular media as weak, new-age nonsense and a bit 'hippy-dippy'.

But then I took the time to watch the recording - an interview by Mind Movies' Natalie Ledwell - and I changed my mind.
She's speaking to best-selling author, Jonathan Robinson, whose latest book, 'Find Happiness Now', is all about, well... happiness!
And there's some very enjoyable and insightful stuff to be experienced here.
In the recording, Jonathan offers his own definition of happiness and explains what blocks so many people from feeling happiness.
Think of your own life and/or that of people you know and you'll probably have to admit that there's truth in this.
He also examines why feeling happiness is actually a skill that we adults need to learn and the idea that 'happiness comes from within'.
Better still, he offers three or four of the 50 techniques contained in his new book, each of which takes only minutes to do.
One of them actually involves using those 'darker moments' that we all experience in life, too.
Last but not least, he talks about interviewing the likes of the late Mother Teresa and Deepak Chopra for one of his books.
And he recounts a true pearl of wisdom given to him during a talk with the Dalai Lama.
It's only about 15 minutes long and well worth a look. Just click on the link below.
