About Adam

Most materials about happiness are theoretical.  I never went to university: I don’t like theory.  What I’ve learned over the years is a practical way to not only attain happiness, but also the time and financial freedom to live your dreams; to do what you want, whenever you want.

The concept of happiness is different for everyone.  But there are some certain fundamentals that everyone needs to achieve if you wish to be really happy.

But what do I know about Happiness..?

After graduating from high-school, I went backpacking abroad with my best friend, and experienced a world I never knew: one where there were no time constraints, no assignments to finish; nothing at all but pure pleasure.  I realized that was how I wanted to live my life, every single day.

Upon return to the “real world” however, I slipped into the routine of work/weekends that so many of us do.  Travel became less regular, and for shorter periods: a week here, a long-weekend there…  All I wanted was the free time to travel again, and have the funds to do so.

Every time I saved enough, I would quit my job, and walk the earth for a few months… until inevitably the money dried up, and I would have to return to society to pay my bills again.

At about 21 years old, I started my first business on the side (in addition to my day job).  It was a tiny operation, as we only had limited funds to get started.  Over the next few years, putting in the requisite hard-work and dedication one needs in order to achieve anything in life, I finally reached the point where I was able to quit my day-job, and work solely on my own business.

Suddenly I was setting my own working hours – while I was still quite busy, it was an incredible feeling… I felt free!

I wasn’t making much money in the beginning. With hard-work and dedication, we managed to grow the business over the next year or so, to a point where we were making enough to really feel comfortable.

Again, it was indescribable!  For a good few years, I really started to indulge in the things I’d always wanted to do.  I felt I had it all… time AND financial freedom, the ultimate combination!!!

… Then I remember vividly one day, sitting on a beach in Thailand, in one of the most beautiful spots on Earth… yet all I felt was lonely.  That was the day I decided to propose to my girlfriend.

I realised that, contrary to popular belief, time and financial freedom is not always the ultimate goal to attain happiness; for me, it was actually love at that point.

And so, being lucky enough to have the time and means to do so, that was the beginning of my journey to identify and explore all the various aspects that contribute most towards overall happiness and well-being.

One-by-one, I’ve isolated the major factors which contribute to happiness, and set upon my journey to achieve them.

Since then, over the years, I’ve really had such an amazing experience; one that I’m so grateful and thankful for, that has made me one of the happiest people I know.

Of course, it hasn’t all been rosy.  We’ve all had our fair share of hard knocks (certainly some more than others).  But the important thing is to consider these hard times a learning experience.  Regardless of who you are, or what you’ve been through, know that ultimately, everyone has the right and the ability to be happy.

My aim is to teach you all the techniques that I’ve learned based on my personal experience treading the road to happiness, to enable you to be completely free; to have the time and resources to enjoy life on your own terms; at your own pace (and then, hopefully use this freedom to make positive changes in the world for others too; not only yourself.  I believe this is another essential aspect of attaining true happiness).
