The first eleven chapters of the book are based on AmAre, an acronym which stands for “being”:

– Eating properly and Exercising

They also address questions like “Is happiness an inside job? Or does it depend on external factors?” by thinking in terms of degree of facilitation. “Some events are like a weight” states Frank, “making harder for people to fly; some are like a lift, facilitating people’s happiness. However, considering even the way human beings discern between weights and lifts is subjective, happiness is about attitudes and choices, it is not a place to reach through external factors”.

Topics covered in the book include:

– Being aware of awareness: consciousness matters

=== Quotes about happiness === Some people CHASE happiness. And some people CHOOSE happiness… Robert Holden

When I find myself focusing overmuch on the anticipated future happiness of arriving at a certain goal, I remind myself to ‘Enjoy now’. If I can enjoy the present, I do not need to count on the happiness that is (or isn’t) waiting for me in the future.

Try to make at least one person happy every day, and then in ten years you may have made three thousand, six hundred and fifty persons happy, or brightened a small town by your contribution to the fund of general enjoyment.

What is the meaning of life? To be happy and useful.

If there were in the world this day any massive number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have a paradise in a few years.

We must choose the illusion that appeals to our temperament and embrace it with passion, if we want to be happy.

He who has no wish to be happier is the happiest of men.

Happiness is a habit, cultivate it.

To be content with what one has is the greatest and truest of riches.

All happiness comes from the desire for others to be happy. All misery comes from the desire for oneself to be happy.

Never lose your happiness. Problems will come and go, problems are an external situation which have come from others, and they will come and go. Happiness is your own property and you always keep something that belongs to you.

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
Mahatma Ghandi

At the New York International Auto Show last week, Scion unveiled its FR-S inexpensive sports coupe concept. Originally dubbed the Toyota FT-86 in production, the FR-S will be a front-engine, rear-wheel drive sports automobile with a flat-four cylinder engine, according to Road and Track. It will likely retail around $25,000, in close competition with American muscle vehicles like the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro, writes Inside Line. While some concepts never make it to production, “The FR-S Concept will inspire a new model coming to the Scion brand next year,” states Toyota.

Toyota states the production model will have a naturally aspirated, 2.0-liter flat-four-cylinder engine, mated either to a six-speed manual or automatic transmission with paddle shifters. Car and Driver thinks that the production model will produce about 200 horsepower and will use a combination of direct and port fuel injection to further amp up its power. The concept displayed 20-inch wheels and 18-inch carbon ceramic disc brakes, but Autoblog warns its readers not to anticipate to see those make it to the showroom floor. Generally, bigger wheels decrease ride comfort, and carbon ceramic brakes are costly to produce and would add to the price. However, if these characteristics are a major part of why you love the FR-S, you can always have them upgraded with aftermarket parts.

So far, it seems like the auto press is most impressed with the car’s looks. “The Scion FR-S has looks that can thrill at a moment’s notice,” writes Kelley Blue Book. USA Today states that the FR-S has “sexy looks,” and Jalopnik raves, “the FR-S should easily be the most handsome Scion ever.”

Wheels anticipates the production version to be pretty close to the concept, and estimates that it will be available in showrooms next year.

So, if you’ve decided to think about buying the FR-S, you’ll have to wait a while. But early reports sound like it may be worth the wait. But the auto press likely won’t have a chance to get behind the wheel for at least a year. This means we probably won’t know how the Scion handles or what kind of gas mileage it gets until 2012 or later. In the meantime, you may want to think about buying a Ford Mustang or a Mazda MX-5 Miata. The Miata starts around $23,100 and earned our 2011 Best Sports Car for the Money award. The Ford Mustang starts a bit lower, around $22,150, and is currently ranked 1 out of 4 muscle cars. But, if you’re willing to wait and see more details about Toyota’s successor to the Celica, it may be worth it.

SKYACTIV technology is Mazda’s new suite of redesigned engines and transmissions that are designed to increase fuel efficiency. “In the sedan, it achieves fuel economy ratings of 28/40 mpg with the automatic; the numbers are 27/39 mpg with the manual,” reports Automobile Magazine. “The engine is also available in the hatchback, where the fuel economy figures are slightly lower, at 27/38 mpg (manual) and 28/38 mpg (automatic).”

Those numbers are up significantly from the 2011 model. The current Mazda3 gets an EPA-estimated 25 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway when equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and five-speed manual transmission. Pricing information has yet to be released, but Mazda states that you can anticipate the 2012 Mazda3 to go on sale later this year.

Edging out luxury vehicles like the 5-Series and A8 is huge news for the Leaf. “The award was the latest sign of the ascendancy of fuel-efficient models over high-performance models at this year’s show in New York,” reports the Detroit News.

While the Leaf took the overall World Car of the Year title, it lost out on the World Green Car of the year title to the Chevrolet Volt. That’s a change from the North American Car of the Year awards handed out in Detroit in January. Autoblog writes, “Oddly, the Volt was named 2011 North American Car of the Year, while the Leaf was merely a runner-up.”

Ford will unveil the 2013 Taurus this day at the New York auto show, but some automotive writers are already unimpressed with many of the changes, and state that some aspects that needed a refresh – such as interior space – were ignored.

“There’s nothing revolutionary in the new Taurus, aside from the fact that Ford has been able to renew its full-size sedan twice in the same time GM has let the Impala turn into rental-car compost,” writes Jalopnik. “Instead, Ford has made scores of small changes — from adding MyFord Touch into the revised dash to full LED tail lamps — meant to keep the Taurus from going stale.”

To enhance performance, Ford also added torque vectoring control, which makes the automobile more maneuverable when rounding corners at high speeds. Curve control – a braking feature Ford has developed – is also new, and slows the Taurus if the driver enters a curve too quickly.

“Inside, there are a number of small revisions to cabin materials, but the biggest addition is the instrument cluster with digital displays and the optional MyFord Touch multimedia system — it’s standard on the SHO — that we’ve seen in the new Explorer and Edge SUVs,” states Kicking Tires. The Taurus also adds park assist technology and a new heated steering wheel to its features list.

Shoppers after something with better performance should check out the Taurus SHO, which Ford has also updated. For 2012, Ford has focused on enhancing performance by giving the SHO bigger brakes, torque vectoring control and electrically power-assisted steering. The SHO keeps its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, which makes 365 horsepower and 350 pound feet of torque.

Ford made both the SHO and the base Taurus look sportier. The base model gains a muscular hood, bigger wheels and LED tail lamps, while the SHO has a black mesh grille, SHO badges and 19-inch premium plated wheels.
