Many people believe happiness is something that “happens” to us. But Karl Dufour’s experience proves the opposite—happiness is something we can create. His philosophy is simple yet profound: creative living leads to greater emotional well-being.
You don’t have to be a professional artist to experience happiness through creativity. Every time you cook a new recipe, write a journal entry, arrange flowers, or solve a problem in a new way, you’re engaging in a creative act. These small moments of creation can have a big impact on your mood, confidence, and sense of purpose.
Dufour’s approach to practical happiness shows that creativity is not just a hobby—it’s a pathway to living with intention. By regularly engaging in activities that challenge your imagination, you build resilience and a deeper appreciation for life’s possibilities.
As Dufour writes in Do You Sincerely Want to Be Happy?, “Happiness isn’t found—it’s built, piece by piece, like a sculpture.”
