Srikumar Rao is a happiness teacher.
He is the author of Are You Ready to Succeed: Unconventional Strategies for Achieving Personal Mastery in Business and Life, and has been a contributing editor for Forbes. His latest book is titled Happiness at Work: Be Resilient, Motivated, and Successful – No Matter What.
In this talk, he teaches how to break free of the “I’d be happy if …” mental model, and embrace our hard-wired happiness.
Listen to his lessons for principles of outcome independence, and focusing on the process rather than end goals. Then reflect back to your personal experiences in game/relationships, business, and life to see how they do apply to you, and all of us.

Simpler and more valuable than any pick up seduction book you might find; this is truly a gem. A concise and effective guide on how to connect to, interact with and influence other people. The most basic principles taught by Dale Carnegie in How to Win Friends and Influence People apply to business, and relationships just as much as they do to other areas of life. A must read!
If you somehow make the big mistake and never pick this jewel up, at least.. “remember that a person’s name is to that person, the sweetest and most important sound in any language!” 
Amazon.com Review:
“This grandfather of all people-skills books was first published in 1937. It was an overnight hit, eventually selling 15 million copies. How to Win Friends and Influence People is just as useful today as it was when it was first published, because Dale Carnegie had an understanding of human nature that will never be outdated. Financial success, Carnegie believed, is due 15 percent to professional knowledge and 85 percent to “the ability to express ideas, to assume leadership, and to arouse enthusiasm among people.” He teaches these skills through underlying principles of dealing with people so that they feel important and appreciated. He also emphasizes fundamental techniques for handling people without making them feel manipulated. Carnegie says you can make someone want to do what you want them to by seeing the situation from the other person’s point of view and “arousing in the other person an eager want.” You learn how to make people like you, win people over to your way of thinking, and change people without causing offense or arousing resentment. For instance, “let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers,” and “talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person.” Carnegie illustrates his points with anecdotes of historical figures, leaders of the business world, and everyday folks.” –Joan Price
