The Happiness Dance (copyright me) is a book I’ve been working on about – wait for it – Happiness. It’s based on research that is being done in the field of happiness and well-being, but is different to other books because it is entirely graphical (okay, there are lots of words in the graphics, so sue me).
I decided to make it graphical to differentiate it from the million other books about happiness. I started on the project when books on happiness were all the rage and I joined the herd. Not being a professor or researcher in the field I needed something to differentiate it, so I decided to go with a graphic-based approach rather than straight text. It’s been fun, I’ve done a lot of reading, learned a lot, changed a little, but now, if I never read another blog about happiness or life hacking again, it will be too soon.
I’m happy to receive feedback.

Wow…congrats! Are you officially done and going to try to get it published?? Do you have the book in a pdf file or something that’s continuous reading, rather than clicking through the pages on the website?
