In his popular book, "The Five Thieves of Happiness", John Izzo explains that joy and happiness are natural aspects of every human being. However, there are five elements — which he calls the "five thieves" — that prevent people from being happy. The challenge, he says, is to remove the mental barriers that prevent you from accessing your happiness and living a fulfilling life. In this audio-only summary of his book, produced by getAbstract, Izzo skillfully constructs a watertight case that happiness exists inside each person: You don't have to acquire it; just dust it off and put into effect. getAbstract believes his optimistic, accessible outlook may challenge your thinking and lift up your attitude.
