Survey

The following survey will give you a sense of where you are in the happiness spectrum. If you choose to take it, be honest, so you know your starting point. I also encourage you to write down your score somewhere you can find it again. You can retake the survey at the end of the book to see if there have been any changes. 

 

Please note that your answers will not be emailed to you at this time.  That functionality will be available soon.
