Happiness Doctor Robert Houle Ph.D Offers Free Tools to CNN Happiness Report-Inspired Individuals

Costa Mesa, CA (PRWeb) January 17, 2007 -- After the fascination and intrigue amongst the general public in response to CNN's report last November, 'Happiness and Your Health - The Surprising Connection', compiled and presented by neurosurgeon and senior medical correspondent Dr Sanjay Gupta, Dr Robert Houle Ph.D has launched his new website on the subject, HappinessCenter.com, to complement and expand on his newly released 'The Magic of Unlimited Happiness' tips booklets.

HappinessCenter.com offers those interested a chance to analyse the happiness (or lack of, as the case may be) in their lives through an informative and revealing quiz, a 5-part intro to Happiness coaching and the opportunity to benefit from Dr Houle's full High Speed Coaching Program, featuring one-on-one tutoring and personal support by Dr Houle himself. The CNN report found that the levels of happiness in a person's life have a direct influence on that person's opportunities, health, lifespan, work life and personal life. Dr Houle, with a Ph.D in Clinical Psychology and who served as a Visiting Fellow at the Center for the Studies of the Person, La Jolla, CA, has worked to provide a solution to the negative effects of insufficient levels of happiness in one's life by offering a variety of resources to those who feel they wish to improve the quality of their lives.

He believes that a greater level of happiness can be achieved through alterations in one's mindset and adding more 'simple, happy solutions' to one's life. Dr Houle's HappinessCenter.com offers visitors a free quiz in order to determine and reveal how happy they really are with their lives. The quiz was originally devised by the founding father of happiness research, Illinois University psychologist Edward Diener, back in 1980, and has been used repeatedly in studies since then. It has also featured in TIME magazine's Mind and Body issue under the section 'The Science of Happiness'. The quiz is comprised of a number of short questions, to be measured on a scale of one to five, on how happy one believes his life to be. The results are then instantly emailed to the individual.

Dr Houle also gives visitors to his website the opportunity to sneak a peek at his High Speed Coaching Program, designed to take an individual step by step through the process of switching the mindset to a more positive one by way of personal coaching telephone sessions, email support and the 'Dr Bob Houle Personal Success Plan'. The free 5-part introduction to Dr Houle's coaching program consists of daily emails designed to encourage the individual to analyze his life and 'give up the excuses' as to why he doesn't have what he wants out of life. Dr Houle believes that a defeatist attitude is part of the problem. 'There is nothing you can do about finding your dream job…there just aren't enough good jobs to go around.' Dr Houle says that this kind of negative attitude is 'simply giving in to fear,' and is a 'no-risk waste of time that keeps you stuck.' He expands on this idea: '…you interpret this to mean that you can't have control over yourself.' The 5-part introductory series continues with other aspects of one's life, encouraging a more objective analysis of the individual's personal circumstances in an attempt to change the deeply engrained negative mindset of the reader. Dr Houle's recently released 'The Magic of Unlimited Happiness' tips booklets, give details on how to effectively encourage more happiness into one's life and how one can use that newfound happiness to positively influence one's own personal circumstances. These fascinating tips booklets are available at HappinessCenter.com.

Dr Houle's website, HappinessCenter.com, looks set to be a great hit, especially with those who found the CNN report interesting and wish to implement a few strategies to improve their own lives.
