Happiness is an Option

You can have more joy, less fear, and a brighter future in the era of the internet.
In Happiness is an Option, you will learn four simple shifts that will allow you to thrive in these chaotic times, and better yet, why now is the time to usher in a new era!
The division and outrage that grips society needs to yield to something that has served us since humans first walked the earth: discovery.
We can rediscover what we all have in common and recognize how our differences can actually serve us. We can change the negative dialogue about the world around us, and with that, what's possible in our future.
Through remarkable life experiences, Dr. Lynda has learned how we can see ourselves, not as the victims of the internet's chaos but as the solution, if we understand one fundamental secret of the web.
Dr. Lynda inspires us with stories from an enormous wave of goodness and progress well underway in a world that few people know about. It's a discovery she calls the Conspiracy of Goodness(TM).
With four simple shifts-learned after decades of working alongside thought leaders and innovators who are changing the world-you can start seeing the other side of the story, the one left untold on social media and the 24-hour news cycle.
It's still an amazing world.
The tools in this book will help you move from a world of division to one of discovery, and show you how we can use our differences in remarkable ways to change the future.
Happiness is an option. We can thrive (instead of just survive) in the era of the internet, if we know a few of its secrets.

Dr. Lynda M. Ulrich has been a business leader, global traveler, artist, and innovator her whole life. From her earliest experiences, she learned to seek goodness around her, demand it when it was lacking, and to never take a day for granted.
She attended the University of Kentucky, along with her high school sweetheart, and eventual husband and business partner, Dr. Chuck Verderber, who was a Division 1 basketball player. Together, they have turned their sense of wonder, and comfort with risk, into a lifetime of making counter-intuitive choices that brought them challenges, lessons, and countless moments of celebration.
In 2014, inspired by a young patient's comments, she created Ever Widening Circles, a Positive Global Media Company, on a mission to change the negative dialogue about our times. The website at EverWideningCircles.com is a place for good news with no politics or ads. Want to feel confident about the future again? The content there points to insight and innovations that prove it's still an amazing world!
Out of our chaotic, seemingly doomed world, Dr. Lynda's voice arises with a vision and a strategy for action available to each of us, bar none. She excludes no one, casts no stones. Instead, she points to an enormous wave of progress and goodness, well underway in the world, now hidden by noise in our online lives. She gives us a plan to find less fear and more joy there. And shares countless examples for recognizing and encouraging the good in this world. Experience tells her that there is a "Conspiracy of Goodness" in our times and a new era is ready to open.
