Authentic Happiness - Using the New Positive Psychology. Marty is brilliant. The world will be a better place when more people understand his work. I'm a happy person. Most of it seems to be genetic &/or mom. But I've learned a lot from Marty's work and am a much better person for it.

It has been said that there is an overload of information. I beg to disagree. The world is swimming in data. However, it is hard to distill the data into information.
