There’s a lot of talk these days about happiness. People wanting to get happy can do courses, read books, subscribe to forums, meditate, or follow any number of paths to proactively raise their happiness quotient.

Yet what help exists for you if you’re one of these forgotten people? Where can you turn for support in a world gone glad?

Follow these tips, and your happiness is sure to become be a thing of the past.
