Rabbi Weinberg gives us sound Jewish advice to break common unhappiness habits, regain lost optimism, and how to increase our daily energy level to live a more rewarding and enjoyable life.

Everyone wants to do the right thing. Nobody wakes up saying, "I want to be bad today." Even a criminal somehow justifies his deviant behavior as "good." So if everyone claims to be "good," how is one to objectively determine if they are on track or have mistakenly taken a detour?
