Her book, The Happiness Project, reached the #1 position on the New York Times bestseller list. In her popular blog she reports on her adventures searching for happiness. We talk about what makes people fulfilled and the small changes that we can make in our lives every day to create a more positive mindset. We discuss how to find happiness, even in difficult times, and the transformative effect that positivity can have on our lives.
