There appears to be a shortage of self-help books in this world, prompting me to contribute another to the mix.

Here's what you won't find in this book: I won't be feeding you empty promises of instant success, nor will I be indulging in exaggerated praise or falsely inflating your ego. This book won't sugarcoat reality — it is designed to serve as your reality check.

Instead, here's what you can expect to discover within these pages:

- A dive into the intricate wiring of human beings, exploring the neurobiological underpinnings of happiness.

- An examination of how contemporary social norms and practices construct an alternative and distinctly different perspective of happiness.

- A comparison of these contrasting viewpoints, which sheds light on the paradox of why, in a world abundant with everything we can only imagine, many still fail to find peace and contentment, relax, and fully savor the journey.
