Don't judge others for any reason be it appearance or actions. Instead try to be understanding and compassionate the way I would like to be treated myself.
The Happiness Project Book!
The book The Happiness Project will be released by Harper in January 2010. Stay tuned for more information!
The Resolutions tool is the most important tool in the Happiness Project Toolbox. It allows you to commit to a resolution in writing and to track your progress. Frequently reviewing your resolutions keeps them uppermost in your mind, and scoring yourself gives you visible feedback. One suggestion: by framing a resolution as a concrete action ("Rent a movie once a week") instead of an abstract goal ("Have more fun") and by holding yourself accountable, you're more likely to make progress.
If you make your Resolutions public, you can inspire other people, as well.
