Google engineer Chade-Meng Tan is on a mission to make the world more peaceful and people happier.
The secret to happiness, he says, is in doing three things every day.
Step one is to calm your mind by pausing during the day and paying attention to your breath.
Meditation and mindfulness have been shown tooffer numerous benefits.
Step two is to log moments of joy.
All too often we focus on the negative and ignore or overlook the positive moments.
Acknowledge more of the good things to counterbalance the negatives.
Step three is to wish other people to be happy.
Being altruistic canturn around a bad moodandempathy is a very valuable skill.
Remind y ourself to wish for others happiness could, in turn, boost yours.
