Happiness In Spotlight - Insight & 60 Minutes
On 11th April, 2006, Insight program (SBS) did a show on Happiness.

And

On Sunday 23rd April, 2006, 60 minutes TV show had a segment on the topic of HAPPINESS.

It is great that people are becoming more aware about happiness and obviously there is an increased interest in the topic.
What makes us happy? What can we do to create happiness? Does money make you happy? These are the questions we hear people ask all the time. We all want to be happy, don't we?

Well, I specialise in creating happiness in people's lives. One thing I know is that there is no universal Recipe For Happiness for everyone. When I ask people "what does happiness mean to you?...what makes YOU happy?...what makes you unhappy?...", everyone answers differently. We all have to figure out what are the ingredients for your unique recipe for happiness, and find the way to cook them just right!

I think it is so interesting that with cooking, some of the most unusual combination of ingredients can create the most wonderful dish! (like, Sweet & Sour - who would have thought of mixing pinapple and tomato together?) Happiness is a bit similar, don't you think?
