Neil Pasricha (@1000Awesome), author of The Happiness Equation, shares counterintuitive and practical happiness hacks to help us elevate ourselves into greater positivity and productivity every day using real action-oriented models and frameworks to think about how we do the things we do.

The Cheat Sheet:

• Happiness is a learnable, teachable skill -- there are specific exercises you can do in just 20 minutes a day to train your brain to be happy.
• Keep just three simple goals in mind to ensure happiness.
• No matter what your pessimistic and optimistic friends tell you, the glass isn't half-empty or half-full -- it's refillable.
