Happiness ScaleHAPPINESS SCALE The Happiness Scale ranges from -10 to +10, with -10 being the worst, 0 being neutral, and +10 being the happiest possible. -10 extreme unhappiness
0 neutral
+10 extreme happiness Interpolate the scale and find the number you think corresponds to your average, uninfluenced mood. If you think you are a -10, don’t watch Old Yeller, and holy cow—get away from the window. If you think you are a +10 and are completely bubbling over with HAPPINESS, be very careful, as other humans will be incredibly jealous, and may just want to slap you upside the head.
Let’s say you decide you are a +4. That will be the baseline from which you will measure changes to your HAPPINESS PREPONDERANCE itself, as well as how different events affect your ACTUAL, or current HAPPINESS at any given time. Though outside influences may affect your ACTUAL HAPPINESS temporarily, your HAPPINESS PREPONDERANCE comes mainly from within, not from without. In other words, you have unconsciously already decided on your level of happiness which of course means that you control how happy you want to be. You can use the same scale to determine your ACTUAL HAPPINESS, which, at any given time may be higher or lower than your HAPPINESS PREPONDERANCE, and can be attributed to outside influences to the extent that you let them. If your ACTUAL HAPPINESS is low, you will use tools described in later chapters to raise it. If your ACTUAL HAPPINESS is high, you will also be given tools to hang on to and even recreate that desirable state.
