    About this ebook

    "Corso in Felicita'" e' un libro sul vero benessere, lo sviluppo personal e spirituale, scritto da un italiano che ora vive in Canada. Dopo aver vissuto a Londra, negli USA, a Malta e in Estonia, un italiano ha "scoperto" la formula della felicita' a Vancouver. Con lo pseudonimo Frank Ra, Francesco ha iniziato nel 2009 http://www.amareway.org/ un blog dedicato a facilitare la felicita' e il benessere del corpo e della mente, usando un approccio italiano alla saggezza che proviene dal Dharma e la conoscenza fornita dalla Psicologia Positiva, Scienze naturali e filosofia.

    "Corso in Felicita'" e' scritto in inglese, un'ottima opportunita' per vivere meglio e, allo stesso tempo, far practica con le proprie conoscenze linguistiche. Francesco ha usato uno dei piu' italiani dei verbi, "amare", per sintetizzare una formula per la felicita':
    - Aware and Accepting (Acquisire consapevolezza e Accettare)
    - Meaningful and Motivated (essere Motivati)
    - Active and Attentive (esseri Attivi e Attenti)
    - Resilient and Respectful (essere Risoluti e Rispettosi)
    - Eating properly and Exercising (Equilibrare l'alimentazione ed Esercitarsi)

    Ironicamente, in inglese AmAre e’ formato dal verbo essere coniugato alla prima persona singolare (I am) e plurale (we are), percio’ da anche l’idea di come tutto sia interconnesso.

    Alcuni dei successi registrati dal libro:
    - "top rated" (numero 1 e 2) complessivo, fiction e non fiction, su Amazon Kindle
    - positivo e massiccio consenso da parte dei lettori
    - copertura mediatica in Europe, America e Asia

      Chapter 1 – Happiness and AmAre

      Happiness and Meaning = Aware and Accepting + Meaningful and Motivated + Active and Attentive + Resilient and Respectful + Eating (Properly) and Exercising

      What is happiness?

      Thinking about the meaning of happiness is part of human nature: we all want to be happy. A dictionary (Webster) defines happiness as a state of well-being and contentment: joy and also a pleasurable or satisfying experience. Mixing these two ordinary meanings of the word happiness is one of the reason why happiness is not a reality for many people: happiness is both a way of living, and its outcome. Happiness is not to be confused with pleasure: pleasure is short-lived and subject to diminishing returns (we need more just to keep our pleasure level high); happiness is a choice, an attitude, a way of living.

      Certainly, some external events can facilitate our decision to live happily, and some other can make it more complicated. Living happily, or its counterpart of feeling down, may be strongly present in the genetic code of some people: still, most of us are born somewhere in between the two extremes, and the choices we make are what changes our natural (genetic) happiness range into our nurtured (cultivated with free will) happiness range. Scientific research and spiritual traditions can facilitate our wisdom when it comes to happiness, and exercising our happiness is also beneficial.

      About opportunities, challenges, and problems

      Everything is as it should be, given the current components of the present context. If we want to change the outcome of the situation, then we need to take action. In the case of opportunities, the upside for us is the most evident. When we see challenges, we are focused on the question marks raised by a situation. Still, by taking action, we can overcome them. When we see problems, then the focus is all on the threats. Problems cannot be solved with the same mind-set which created them, they demand a brand new approach, otherwise they would not even be problems in the first place.

      Being happy together: multilevel happiness

      People can be wealthy while other people are starving, unfortunately that occurs quite often. But we cannot be happy in a vacuum, joyful beings who are an island to themselves; as mentioned, happiness is social and contagious. We also find the idea of Multilevel happiness appropriate. When it comes to multilevel marketing, often early the first movers (the ones at the top of the scheme) are the one profiting, while others are just feeding them; multilevel happiness creates joy for all, and sometimes the last to join even benefit from aggregated experiences and happiness of the friends who preceded them. Let's be agents of happiness!

      Happiness is a way of living

      Happiness is the result of what we think and do. Happiness is not a target to aim to, nor a place to reach and blissfully sit there forever. If we are concerned only with happiness, we are going to miss it; if we live our lives in ways appropriate the context, we are happy.

      Happiness is like a garden: it comes in different shapes, sizes, colours; it grows on different soils, under different weather conditions; it brings different flowers. What's common about our garden of happiness is that it needs to be understood and nurtured, cultivated and loved. And there is no such thing as cultivating our small fenced garden in a vacuum: it depends on how other gardens are, which seeds are carried around by bees, etc.

      Lasting happiness

      Provisional happiness can be influenced by external short-term events; lasting happiness, is influenced both by objective (genetics and natural predispositions) and subjective (educating our emotions; ensure that, if they crystallize into moods, they are positive ones) personal factors . By knowing better how to develop our subjective factors, and how to maximize our objective factors, we increase our happiness.

      Power of context

      We also need to understand strengths and weaknesses are never absolute, and always contextual: a shy person makes an ideal listener, and maybe not the most performing social butterfly. For this reason, shy people may put themselves in the contexts where they can facilitate happiness for them and other people; and also let themselves go in more social situation. Still, happiness is more building in strengths, and not force ourselves in filling what we see as
