Lucky Go Happy is an amusing, modern-day fable for adults and teens alike. It offers insight into being happier and being happy more often. Happiness, emotions, and positive psychology are abstract concepts that are generally difficult to explain and understand. Lucky Go Happy unpacks these abstract concepts using elementary graphs and images, conveyed through a fable, making for an informative and entertaining read for young and old.

The story follows the adventures of Lucky the Rat, who has been sent into the African Bush by King Lion to discover what makes other animals happy. Through various encounters with remarkable characters, Lucky captures some reviving new takes on happiness, which he has to present to King Lion in a report before the next rainy season. King Lion hopes to regain his own happiness after reading the report.

Lucky Go Happy will demonstrate how we lose more than 70 percent of potential happy time by living for weekends only, explain how contentment can yield the same amount of happiness as ecstasy, provide concrete proof that money can never make us happy, and highlight why it is absolutely essential to be unhappy at times. It illustrates why a midlife crisis happens, shows that happiness is not around the next corner but here and now, and helps you understand how happiness works.

Rather than waiting for happiness, you can make it happen for yourself and for those around you!
