4-STAR REVIEW: HAPPINESS MOUNTAIN by Amal Indi

Publication Date: October 12, 2023

Happiness is the most important experience that we as human beings seek throughout our entire lives. Yet there is no one clear definition of happiness in the world today.

How, then, can we expect to be happy to our fullest if we do not know what happiness is?

Everyone has happy moments in life. Suppose you are awake sixteen hours a day after eight hours of sleep—how much time are you truly happy in these sixteen hours?
If you are happy only 20 percent of your day, you will not feel truly happy in life.
If you are happy 50 percent of your day, you will feel like you have an OK life.
If you are happy 60 percent or above, you are living a happy life.
If you are happy 80 percent and above, you’re living a phenomenally happy life.
What if you could change the times that you are not happy to happy moments?

If you want to get better at something, you must study and become proficient in that subject. You do not know what you are missing if you do not learn. The same principle applies to happiness. If you want to be happier, study what happiness is. If happiness is important to you, master it.

By knowing happiness, you can consciously live a happier life. You can minimize the external factors impacting your happiness. You can get happiness under your control.

Irrespective of where you are in life today, by reading this book and following the happiness definition, philosophy, and methodology, you or anyone can live a happier life.

The concept of happiness is often elusive, with some people trying to find it at the bottom of a bottle or by chasing new fads. Author Amal Indi advocates reprogramming our minds for happiness in the book Happiness Mountain.

Using a rather practical approach, the author makes a correlation regarding the process we use in order to get better at something. Naturally, we study to become proficient. In turn, if we want to be happier, we must learn what happiness is and then consciously live a happier life.

The author goes on to discuss how his happily ever after was shattered by a financial crisis that initially impacted his work life and then spilled over into his home life, resulting in a divorce. A spiritual retreat in his home country of Sri Lanka led to the beginning of his happiness journey.

He advocates creating six happiness experiences that connect to the Happiness Mountain methodology. While I didn’t discover any new or earth-shattering approaches, his advice would be helpful to people just starting their happiness search.

Happiness Mountain contains the ingredients necessary to make every experience a happy experience, which then will enable you to consciously live a happier life.
