- Embrace the truth that while life is tough, you can be happy
- Transform your relationship with yourself from enemy to ally
- Appreciate why less is often more
- Focus on what's right with your life, not what's wrong
- Control the only person you can–yourself
- Invest in yourself to become more mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually fit
- Use your newly discovered joy to become a more positive and productive influence in the world–and much more

A sought-after expert in life-crisis triage, including addiction and trauma recovery, she is acclaimed for her dynamic "H-Factor" process that makes it possible for anyone to elevate their well-being through attention, intention, and action.

Lisa's proven techniques and work as host of the popular Harvesting Happiness Talk Radio show have helped millions of people around the world generate more joy and fulfillment in their lives.

Read an Excerpt

"Happiness is a mysterious thing. We all want it, we all crave it, and still, we can't always have it no matter what we do. Although advertisements try to convince us that if we take the right pill we can be happy all the time, that's simply not true. Because life isn't always happy. This sounds harsh, but it's the truth. Happiness doesn't naturally spring up from beneath our feet each day. And that's because life isn't perfect. In fact, it can be downright cruel and unreasonable at times. And that's okay, because no matter what life throws at us, we have free will and we can use it all to our advantage.

Stuff happens. Every second many are born and many die. Life is filled with tension, disappointment, trauma, illness, and struggle as well as pleasure, excitement, satisfaction, beauty, and simplicity. Life is a "wiggly" experience. It moves this way and then it moves that way, often at the same time as happiness is regularly tinged by difficulty. Life is bittersweet.

How do you wiggle? How do you deal with the roller-coaster ride of life? How do you deal with hardships? Do you go with the flow or do you fight the tide?

When things go wrong, do you play the victim and engage in pity parties that don't serve you? I'm a big proponent of allowing myself the space and opportunity to acknowledge as well as feel what's happening, perhaps gripe about it a bit, comfort myself to the best of my ability with healthy strategies then move on. Wallowing is nothing but a stew that gets thicker with time. Or do you realize that you have the power to control your expectations, your reactions, your choices, and yourself?"
