Tell us about that.

Yeah.

I mean, many years ago, I'll tell you how the quick story is.

In 1997, I studied with Jack Canfield in Santa Barbara, California, who I have to give a plug.

He endorsed the second book, so I'll have his name on that book.

I studied with Jack Canfield, the author of Chicken Soup for the Soul series, a co-author.

And...

Well, I think

Give us a story of somebody who was not happy who became happy.

You know, and that's the thing too, and I don't wanna, um, be- I don't wanna make light of this.

So some people have been clinically diagnosed with things where they need pharmaceuticals or they need, you know, things to help them.

That is not what I'm talking about.

W- what I wanna t- do is talk about the person who's just become complaining and, you know, pessimistic and what I, what I love about it is the research shows that optimism can be learned.

So if you think about our brain, I, I, I'm thinking of a woman in my head, which I haven't told you about her yet, but what happens is I've had a woman who just cares deeply about everything in life, and when you care so deeply about everything, when you see the, you know, the atrocities that get played out on the news, when you see people not doing the right thing at work, whatever you see, rudeness, you really, it upsets you because you just have this sense of fairness.

You want things to be right.

How important is being raised a happy child for developing happiness as you become an adult?
