Q: Is this process reliable?
A: Yes.  If your or the person you are leading says yes to question 1, "Would you like to feel happy now?" they have already set an intention to feel happy.  If the answer is no, the process stops because there is no intention to feel happy.

Q: Is this process family friendly?
A:  Yes.  Children respond very well to the process and are eager to feel happy.  Be sure to get the parent's permission first.

Q: Can I teach this process to others?
A: Yes.  Please use it with anyone and everyone you desire.  Spread it around.

Q: What tips can you give me to help others learn this process?
A: Confidence and sincerity go a long way in supporting a person to connect with strong emotions.  Do the process yourself and simply take notice of how strongly you feel gratitude and happiness.  Your confidence in leading them in the process is built on your personal experience of how well it works.  If you are teaching another person this process, you are actually giving them a generous and heartfelt gift.  Your sincerity is based on how much you want to share happiness with them.

Q: What if I get stuck and can't think of something I am grateful for?
A: This almost never happens, but if it does, try the following topics and see if any of them reach out and grab you:  The love of a relative or friend or spouse.  The love of a pet.  Being alive.  A nice sunset.  Being able to learn new things and change your experience of the world.  For children, ask them if they might be grateful for their grandparents, or a pet, or a brother or sister.  If all else fails, make something up and hold it in your heart as if it was real and precious.

Q: Is it really this simple?
A: Yes.

Q: How does it work?
A: Thank you for asking.  Here goes:
There is really only one step that matters in this process.  Step two creates the connection to our emotions.  Anyone feeling sincerely grateful for something is automatically in touch with joy and happiness.  Gratitude and happiness seem to be part of the exact same human nature.  Question 1, would you like to feel happy now, has the purpose of setting an intention and leads to an expectation of happiness.  As I watched the faces of people I taught this to, I could clearly see the emotion expressed on their faces.  When the emotion is clearly present, question 3, how do you feel now, has the purpose of getting the person to notice that they in fact do feel happy.  It has the effect of letting them see for themselves that they are feeling happy.  It shows them by first hand emotional experience that there is a connection between gratitude and happiness.  Question 3 closes the loop.

Q: Jack, why are you sharing this with us?
A: I have a lot in my life to be grateful for.  I found myself learning this process myself and wanting to share it with others.  I have been given many precious gifts in this life and I want to give something back.
