Hello and welcome once again to the Live Happy Now podcast. I am your host, J.R. Houston.

Thrill to have you here once again, wherever you are in the world and however you may be listening.

It's just exciting to be welcomed into your world. And we welcome you into ours. We want to hear from you. We are running a really cool deal right now on live happy.com. A two-minute survey about live-happy now. You just got to tell us what you think. There's some questions on there. Like I said, it takes about two minutes. And if you enter it, you have a chance to win some live happy gear.

We got t-shirts, we got cups, we got all kinds of stuff that we're going to send

your way, should you be chosen at random, but you cannot win if you do not enter.

So please fill out that survey about Live Happy Now podcast at livehappy.com slash survey.

And pick up a new copy of Live Happy magazine. We've got a new edition out.

It is on newsstands everywhere. If you are not the type that likes to flip through a magazine,

well, we got you covered there too, my friend. The digital edition is available in the Apple

store and the Google Play store. And it is fantastic. That's the one that I read personally because I like digital things.

And you should, too.

But if the print magazine is more your style, it is available.

Newsstands everywhere.

We are very excited about our guest, a New York Times best-selling author, The Book of Awesome.

Neil Pazerica is a Harvard MBA, one of the most popular TED speakers of all time and the director of the Institute for Global Happiness.

And he's dedicated to the past 15 years of his life to developing leaders, which we can always use more of.

He's created global programs inside the world's largest companies and spoken to hundreds of thousands of people around the world.

And he's going to share with us more about his new book, The Happiness Equation, where want nothing

plus do anything equals have everything.

Well, Neil, you have sold millions of copies of books, and the book of awesome is a book

that has a really interesting backstory.

Now you've moved on to
