If you’re looking for an upbeat, feel-good, empowering few minutes, this is the interview for you. It’s no coincidence that Marci Shimoff has been a frequent visitor at the very top of the New York Times bestsellers list with her six Chicken Soup for the Soul books.

Her latest is “Happy For No Reason: 7 Steps to Being Happy From the Inside Out,” and it, too, became a runaway bestseller. This book does more than tell you the obvious.

Marci draws information from cutting-edge research from the fields of neuroscience and psychology and presents practical techniques from many disciplines that will help you stay centered on the inside, regardless of what’s happening around you.

She explains how it’s possible to achieve true happiness, no matter how far you have to go to get there.
