Book excerpt: The universe is over 13 billion years old. The sun is one million times larger than the earth. The earth is inhabited by trillions and trillions of life-forms, and we are one of the billions of people who inhabit our world, yet from our point of view, we are the most important thing to have ever existed. You will find more amazing facts inside the book, which will relate more directly to your life and will help you determine how happy your life will be. I’m not saying every day will be sunshine and roses. We all know bad things will come our way through no fault of our own, and we will have to deal with events in our lives that will cause us anguish and sorrow, but armed with the ideas in this book, we should be able to rise above the negative events that happen in all people’s lives and live the kind of happy life we all deserve. Positive psychologists say we are born with 40 percent of our potential for happiness which is genetic, another 10 percent of how good we feel is caused by our environment, and the media which leaves 50 percent of our potential to be happy for us to work with. That’s a potential for 100 percent more happiness in our lives if we know how to get it. That’s why I’ve written this book and am giving this gift to you. Read it, study what you find in it, and put as many of these ideas into your life as you possibly can. See if you don’t feel happier. If you also feel happier, it will make me happier too. Best of luck, Bayne Wetmore (I choose to be happy). This book is full of amazing facts you need to know. —Sharon Kay Summerford, energy practitioner This is his best book by far. —Ken Persky
