The Business of Happiness: 6 Secrets to Extraordinary Success in Life and Work

Remember "The Happiness Project" by Gretchen Rubin? (You can see my interview with her, below). As I was talking with Ted Leonsis about "The Business of Happiness," I kept thinking about Rubin's book. Now, this is not to take away from Ted's book one bit -- this is because his book makes so much sense after reading Gretchen's! We now know from science that our actions can influence our brain and feelings -- and we know that smiling can make us feel better. Gretchen's book discusses taking a deliberate approach to happiness, making it a "project."

Ted Leonsis takes that a step further. Why not, he asks, apply the principles of a successful businessman (which he certainly is) to the pursuit of happiness? You're sure to be fascinated simply by hearing about Ted's "life list" -- what he's accomplished on it so far, and what his next list item to be crossed off may be!
