More About Me

I'm passionate about

Happiness through communication.

An idea worth spreading

Happiness through communication, my theory is, that If we would communicate more with the strangers around us- we would be happier. And we would make others happy. with the people at work, the next door neighbor, the person next to you on the bus, the man on the elevator or the cashier in the supermarket.
All of those are examples of moments that has opportunities to communicate, and to make ourselves and someone else happier
Why doesn’t it happen usually? How can we make it happen?
I'm working on it now- but we can start buy talking about it and raising awareness.

Talk to me about

Yourselves - I'd be interested
