The Happy Uprising: A Passionate yet Pragmatic approach to Fulfilment
by Lishen Nair

Monday to Friday: Rise at 6 a.m., force-feed cereal into your stomach, fight traffic to get to work, toil in a cubicle until 5 p.m., get home by 7 p.m., eat, watch television, wash up, sleep.
Saturday: Recover.
Sunday: Dread Monday.

Eight out of ten Americans are stressed about their finances and the economy, according to the American Psychological Association. A study by the Priory Group reveals that stress experienced by workers costs the British economy £3.7 billion each year. Worldwide there is ubiquitous pressure on people to do more and be more: work harder, become more efficient, take on more responsibility, spend more money and essentially maximize every second of time.

The forces of globalization compounded with an insatiable demand for more profit and “improvement” haven’t pushed us close to the tipping point – we’re standing right on it. Monotony and working until one drops are considered to be an integral part of modern adult life. This setup has been accepted as a new normal, and the apathetic attitude many adopt is “that’s the way it is.”

We all want and deserve autonomy with our time, a passionate and rewarding livelihood, purposeful context, simplicity and vigourous health. In a contemporary setting happiness is not a goal, but rather a by-product of the above pillars. These pillars can be systematically built into your daily stride to create a life that you can call worthwhile.

In spite of the chaos present in modern day life, today there are platforms, tools and opportunities available to make life everything it’s cut out to be. People at large have relinquished life's ideals and these ideals need to be seized back. The Happy Uprising shows the reader why - theoretically and practically - a charmed life is possible, and details how to build such a life.
