About Jared
Happiness is all about being OK with you. It’s about being the best you can be and realizing that everything you need to be happy is already inside you. It’s your birthright. Once you stop depending on external sources for happiness, and realize how to harness the power already within yourself, you will flourish in true inner-peace, happiness, and serenity.
How To Be Happy was developed by myself, Jared Akers, as a way to share what I have experienced, studied, and witnessed: true happiness and serenity.

About Jared Akers
At the age of twenty-two I already had my dream job as a zookeeper; something I had dreamed of since being a little kid. I had made it.
A few years later, I woke up and realized I was bored with life. I felt something shift deep in my soul that day. I accepted that no matter what I accomplished in life, I would never be satisfied. For years I would chase after the next idea, goal, or relationship, only to be left unsatisfied again.
After reaching a bottom emotionally and spiritually on March 12th of 2006, I surrendered to the way I had been living and desperately sought a new way to live. Through years of self-exploration, hard work, and dedication, I have found true happiness.
“Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.”

I'm a grandpa!
It’s hard to imagine that on March 12th of 2006 I was so miserable; life was unbearable and hardly seemed worth living. That moment had been building from years of struggling to find my purpose in life and whatever it was that I was missing. The idea of finding true inner-peace, happiness, and a life full of gratitude, love, and purpose seemed about as plausible as me hitting the moon with a piece of gum using a fork and potato. Although it was a process—one that was uncomfortable and seemingly slow at times—today I’m full of more joy, love, inner-peace, balance, purpose, and happiness than I could have ever imagined. Anything is possible, one step at a time.
Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read this, I truly appreciate it.
