It's our birthright to THRIVE.

And yet we're surrounded by a "Cuckoo Culture" where life is all about struggle and survival, and we're told that thriving is unrealistic, a pollyannish fairy tale.


            What if life isn't about the pursuit of happiness at all?


What if happiness (thriving) is something we're intended (even designed)to live immersed in, every day?


            Our economic systems are disintegrating because
                              we’ve come to the end of our capacity,
                   as a people and a planet,
                                                 to continue pursuinghappiness (thriving)
                      in ways that not only don’t work, but that

        actually diminish our well-being

                                                     … along with the well-being of most other living things on the planet.

The Road Map to Happiness (Thriving) shows us how to restore our natural, inherent, effortless, UNIQUELY HUMAN ways of connecting directly with Life that generate the everyday thriving and well-being -- HAPPINESS -- that is our natural birthright. 

It teaches us what all human beings need to thrive (providing dramatically effective guidance for our everyday personal lives, as well as how to organize our economic, political, healthcare, education, business, and other social systems, institutions, and activities), and also helps us each discover the specific ways that we as unique individuals prefer to meet those needs. (For example, as human beings we all need good-tasting, natural food free from harmful substances, and artichokes are a healthy food that taste delicious to me, but they might taste awful to you. We all need opportunities to explore and create and express ourselves, but you might be fascinated by basketball and gardening while I delight in carpentry and reading.)

EXHAUSTED? DEPRESSED?  When everything around us tells us we have to work hard to “make it,” we get caught up in an unending, anxious struggle to get ahold of resources (money, property, and power over others) and to control events in an attempt to feel secure.  Disconnected from what naturally, genuinely supports our own thriving, we inevitably put more energy into this struggle than we get out of it, resulting in an ongoing, daily net loss of Life Energy. (Yes, do this for too long and sickness and premature death do follow the exhaustion and depression). When life is about thriving, tiny amounts of effort create huge amounts of energy, fulfillment, and well-being … =HAPPINESS!   
(Our Cuckoo Culture calls this magic.)

ANGRY? LONELY? NUMB?  Our feelings are Life's way of letting us know when we're expanding or decreasing our well-being (e.g. health, vitality, and fulfillment). Our feelings don't say anything about our value, our worth, or our character ... they merely let us know how skilled we are at the moment, at nurturing our own thriving (loving and caring well for ourselves). Since our Cuckoo Culture teaches us nothing about how to thrive, it's only natural that our self-nurturing skills are undeveloped ... and that we experience a lot of "negative" emotions from all the fear, struggle, and survival our Cuckoo Culture does support.

BROKE? DISSATISFIED? UNHAPPY?   We can never get enough of what doesn't satisfy us.  Our Cuckoo Culture tells us we need to work hard, get a good education, make lots of money, get ahold of a bunch of stuff,  get married (the more attractive or wealthy our spouse, the better), and get into a position of power over other people in order to be a success in life.  And yet no matter how many of these things we manage to get ... a genuine, lasting sense of worthiness, security, satisfaction, and happiness eludes us.  Why?  Because the only things that can genuinely satisfy us are things that genuinely contribute to our well-being.  No human being has a natural, inherent need for struggle, institutionalized education, money, stuff, marriage, or power over other people.

COME DISCOVER HOW LIFE REALLY WORKS. Imagine living in a world where we’re told to put water in the gas tank of our car. Just because the car won’t run at all that way, doesn’t mean it can’t do amazing things when we put the right stuff in the tank.  By telling us we need to work hard, get diplomas and money and stuff and power and married, the Cuckoo Culture has given us a road map to inevitable dissatisfaction, insecurity, exhaustion, and disillusionment. 

There ARE ways we're designed to connect with Life that naturally and inevitably lead to well-being, peace, security, joy, and fulfillment ... THRIVING.
