      After decades of investigating both happiness and the relationship between science, minds, and all that matters, he developed a radically new approach to life that has profound practical and scientific implications. He makes that approach clear in five very different books. Two of them present it all in an easily understood form. The other three are novels, giving you a sense of life and truth in a form that entertains more than lecturing.

By re-thinking them, we can open the door to a better world.

The last blog invited you to consider disowning all your irrational feelings as not you. You are free to declare what is or is not the real you, and you can transform your experience of life by discounting all your foolishness as trances that you cannot always control.

Happiness – Leading Two Lives

Part 2 of 4-Part Series

People tend to have a Victim Perspective, and it exaggerates the power of circumstances to ruin their lives. The first blog suggested that your life works far better with a Welcoming Perspective, enthusiastic about dealing with whatever happens. Even when you can’t get the result you want, it feels like a valuable experience, fascinating and instructive. You know that an incident influences different people differently, depending on how they hold it.

I love playing games. I try to win, but I also enjoy the learning curve, the interactions with other players, and being ready for whatever happens. If all you care about is winning the game, it might more like an ego trip than playing a game.
