Do you know the difference between pleasure and happiness? Does pleasure lead to happiness?

Many people think that they can find happiness by investing in pleasure. They eat a wonderful meal and have a lot of sex and take big changes to create excitement and thrills on the highest ski slopes. These activities-though full of pleasure-often backfire, and we soon discover that pleasure can lead to sadness and regret rather than happiness. The great meal leads to indigestion or weight gain, the daring snowboarding moves lead to fractures, and even sex can lead to broken relationships and often STDs. So if you are looking for happiness know that it might not be on the same path as pleasure. The trick is to know which one you really want - pleasure or happiness. My new book THE TIME TO BE HAPPY IS NOW will give you some practical techniques to unravel this and help you to bring greater happiness to your life and your work in these tough economic times.
