All week I’ve been working furiously to finish the Happiness 2.0 report. The trouble is that I’m a terrible editor. I start to read through it to make sure it makes sense and I just keep finding more to add to it. So late last night I said enough is enough and I’ve banned myself from adding in anything new to it.
I just need to leave it a couple of days to detach a little from it so I can read through it again and check it makes some sense. I’m hoping it will be ready for you for Monday. But in the meantime I have an idea for a mini project that I think will benefit you greatly.
I’ve given a lot of thought to this report. Not just the writing of it, but the way to deliver it, so it has most impact on you. You see, I think I know what’s going to happen to a lot of people who read it;
- Some will read it quickly while they are checking their email, having a conversation and eating their lunch. They’ll miss most of the subtle insights and never look back at it because they’ve read it.
- Others will read it, find something they disagree with and disregard the rest of it because of that one piece.
- And some others will read it nod along and do nothing with it.
I know that for a few these insights will change their way of thinking and so their lives. And so I want to do as much as I can to make a bigger impact on you. And the biggest part of how this impacts you doesn’t come from my writing, but from how involved you are in actively reading it.
So, I have come up with a way that you can get your brain ready to make best use of this report. And I think it could be a really interesting project for us to do for a lot of reasons. I’ve set up a short, anonymous survey asking you a few questions to get you thinking.
The idea is that this will set your views on the subject and then when you get the report you’ll already have an opinion and so you’ll be more discerning.
Plus then I’ll publish the aggregated results. It’s an anonymous survey and so I won’t see your individual answers, just the total figures. Then we’ll have some information to work on more practical steps to really make it sink in. I think this could be very valuable to us and so I hope you get involved today or over the weekend.
You’ll find the form here;

I think this is a great idea.
you have come up with a great idea. that could help a lot of people.
I have a feeling a lot of happy people are going to give you the same response to a few of your questions.
Thank you Rob for your research. So many days I really look forward to your e-mails and always they lift me up.
On your worst days remember you have started a wonderful chain and it does grow and go on, and on.
This is a very good idea
Rob, if you have already asked yourself what it is that you need as an effect from this cause, you already know you are well and truly on track… yet, whatsover you think and say and do, will not be as great as you are… still they are capable of reflecting who you are being and can point others unto themselves… like droplets in the vast ocean… every drop serves a higher purpose… if this is a possibility that makes you rejoice, go ahead and do it… all blessings…
Thanks Rob ^_*
