The art of being happy

THE ART OF BEING HAPPY - NO MATTER WHAT OTHERS THINK

Amazing but true, it turns out that there are still people who still think that writing about the art of being happy is gay (is it written that way?), and they ratify it with a "of course how marketing has the advanced sensibility"... Cromañon!, Never stop being alpha male by talking about your feelings or by worrying about having a better life.

As I was already saying in my first post when I started writing about happiness, it seems incredible to me that there are classes in natural sciences, pretechnology, etc., but that children are not taught about the art of being happy or at least about how to try it. It is also paradoxical that among the great authors, when talking about the Art of being happy, the protagonist is the super pessimistic Arthur Schopenhauer.

In a country where depression and loneliness are two of the greatest growing evils among the adult population, and after all the advances that have been made in this regard, it still seems that writing about the art of being happy is something esoteric, or for a talk by depressed people....

I am not a fan of self-help books, or all these new gurus of personal coaching experts in solving your life because they have read a couple of books, but I am a firm believer that there are certain attitudes and behaviors that can help you to be a little happier (I put together 10 in the post “10 tricks to achieve happiness”) and of course, there are great specialists with years of studies that can help you.

My frustrated vocation is that of a psychologist, but at the time, it seemed to me that Argentines were better psychologists and I was also convinced by my mother that advertising was a hippie nonsense, and that it was much better to study law, safer and also with many more exits.

Well, for you to see, I end up working in Marketing, something very similar to advertising and I also write about human behavior. Funny, isn't it? In the end, it's going to be true that the goat shoots into the mountain.

What is also clear is that, as the song said, what others think is superfluous, and that everyone should do or write what they want.

And by the way, I'm sorry for the big headlines used in this post, but it was the only way to give this art post a racy twist of being happy without using swear words or getting in directly with someone. In short, it has served to release a certain aggressiveness and verbalize my thoughts, something that according to all experts, serves to improve your mood.

So mission accomplished?
