In his newest talk, Hank shares what he's learned from studying happiness. He expounds on what science has to say on the subject, what teenagers think happiness is, and what prophets and other Church leaders have taught. He then highlights four key principles of happiness from the Book of Mormon that can help us be happy too: (1) accentuate the positive, (2) learn to work, (3) keep the commandments, and (4) drop the contention. Of course, Hank uses laughter to teach about happiness. He says, "I think when people laugh, they learn more." His message will keep you smiling and positive with his inspiring stories, personal examples, and testimony that teach you that even in a world filled with frowns, you can be happy too.
