Synopsis

The Happy Hero reveals the secret of enjoying a better life and sets out the principles of how to feel good by doing good. Sounds simple, but where do you start? Everyday we are bombarded with fear and negativity from the media and have been trained out of happiness by these stories. There is a simple solution; stop worrying about the future and start making it better. Whether it's donating blood, only eating meat at the weekend, buying vintage/pre-loved clothes or picking up litter in your street. Luckily, many of the changes we need to make to build a better world, we want to do anyway and optimism is the only mindset that can change our world for the better. New research shows that trying to make a difference, even in the smallest ways, can extend your life, improve your relationships and even help you recover from a cold...because, it turns out, saving the world is good for you. So Superheroes, what are you waiting for... ?

Author Bio
Solitaire has been trying to make the world a better place for nearly 30 years. As co-founder of the change agency Futerra, she advises governments, charities and big brands like Danone and L'OreI al on ways to solve social and environmental problems. With Futerra offices now in London, Stockholm, New York and Mexico City, she admits that making the world a better place was a damn good business plan. You can watch her TEDx talks online and read her in the Guardian, Huffington Post and more often as @GreenSolitaire on Twitter. She was even profiled once in Harper's Bazaar, but they didn't let her keep the clothes. Solitaire would like you to know that yes, she thinks it's a pretty name too. And no, she wasn't named after the Bond girl.
