I loved and laughed through your "Sam and his auntie with the dentures analogy" as the "Secret to Happpiness."

"Attitude is everything" is the main mantra of my life.

Thank you, Burt for enriching my life.

Every topic is so interesting and insightful! You are so right on about attitude. I needed to hear this message today because my Dear Mom is getting very forgetful and she repeats herself over and over. Today as I was watering the lawn I asked myself,what If my Mom were not here I would miss her terribly! Thank-you Mr. Goldman for not only changing my attitude but also I got a lesson in appreciation. Ever since i discovered your web=site I feel like a new person.

For many, including myself, the difficult part is the changing of attitude. It especially gets difficult when we let ourselves caught off guard and lose control. I think high level of Self-awareness at all times plays a big part in helping us to change our attitude. Want to know more about self-awareness see Oprah.com on "The New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle.

Really great and helpful... Although the concept of attitude being important for happiness is not new to me, it was good to hear it from you explained in such a pleasant and clear way. Thank you very much. I love your video, watched it a couple of times, and also watched your other videos on You Tube. Really great and helpful...

This was reconfirmed after reading "The Art of Happiness" 5 years ago. It is a translation of a series of conversations with the Dalai Lama who is an authority on happiness. I really recommend it to everyone! I am more aware of myself now and is overall content with absolutely everything in my life. I also really recommend "the Dalai Lama at MIT" too. It helps you understand the mechanisms of our psyche using both western and Buddhist view on the human mind which is useful in scientific research.
