You may remember an article I wrote a couple of years ago about some light-hearted research my wife and I did on smiles.

Going for our early morning walk, we noticed that many people walking toward us were grim faced. We wondered whether we could change their mood by smiling at them as we walked toward them.

Overwhelmingly, the result was that we had almost 100% smiles in return!

If you want to do more, be more and achieve more you must read this book today!

I remembered this as, somewhat gloomily, I walked around Lismore where we await the funeral of my son.

So I smiled at everyone walking toward me. Apart from people who thought I was an amiable idiot, I got almost universal smiles in return.

It made me feel great and lifted me out of my sad state to another more happy place.

Worth trying if you’re miserable!
