During these decades ofresearch, I discovered a mathematical equation that precisely explains therecipe for a happy life. Today, sharing this finding with others is my greatestpassion.” “The realization that our hopes, our hungers and ourhappiness are tightly linked together is what led me to conceive of theTriple-H Project LLC—an entity wholly dedicated to help create hopeful andhappier communities—one encounter at time—regardless whether the setting orvenue is at the workplace, civic gathering, or university campus”. Not too long ago, a little boy in Lafayette, Indiana,who “had a bad day at school” and was also overwhelmed by “tons of homework”,called 911 to ask for help. Thedispatcher on duty, at the Lafayette Police Department, Ms. Antonia Bundy,without any hesitation, helped him over the telephone with his math homework.Luckily, it was not a busy day. At theend, he expressed gratitude for the assistance and also apologized for thecall—but added, “I really needed help”. Public reactions and comments about this incidence wereprofuse. Many empathized with the boy; some blamed his parents, while othersexpressed anger over the little boy’s misuse of the public emergency line for anon-emergent triviality. The point that must not be missed is that the boy wassimply overwhelmed and he needed help. As founder and CEO of the Triple-HProject, I was very impressed and glad that he sought help where he could ratherthan resorting to an option that was either harmful to himself or to others. The plight of this little boy goes a long way to arguefor the need of Triple-H Project in every city and town— where people can callto request the assistance of a happiness coach. “The workplace, civic gatherings, college anduniversity campuses are the three very practical settings or venues where themission of the Triple-H Project (THP) can be best implemented. College anduniversity campuses being the place where young men and women gather to receiveformal preparation for life also provides the most appropriate setting to learnthe mathematics of happiness; and become adequately equipped to live a happylife in a very challenging world that awaits them after graduation.Additionally, the college years are also the time of major psychologicalturbulence and emotional fragility with high suicide rate. For these reasons,it is my personal desire and mission to give priority to college anduniversities students in sharing my recipe for happiness”. Dr. Alphonsus Obayuwana accepts speaking engagementsbefore large and small audiences, conducts hope seminars, and happinessworkshops. He also accepts clients for one-on-one hope and happiness coaching. Author - The Happiness Formula: A Scientific,Groundbreaking Approach to Happiness and Personal Fulfillment.
