The Sunflower Secret

That is the Sunflower Secret. Sunflowers don't wait for perfect conditions to bloom. They turn toward whatever light is available and grow anyway. That, I have come to believe, is the deepest truth about human happiness. We don't need everything to go right. We don't need the rubble cleared. We don't need the perfect circumstances, the perfect relationship, the perfect bank account. We need to learn how to turn toward the light that is already there. This book is my attempt to show you how. It is built on science — real science, peer-reviewed studies from the world's leading universities. But science alone can't explain what I saw in Damascus. So it is also built on stories. On the lived experience of people who have tested the principles of happiness in conditions that would make most happiness experts put down their clipboards and go home.
