"To understand true happiness, we need only observe young children. They are masters at embodying happiness without chasing after it. Because they are as yet untainted by mainstream culture, they don't look for happiness outside themselves. If we are willing, they can lead us back to what we have lost. We need to allow our children to do what they do best, which is simply be themselves."

                               -Dr. Shefali Tsabary
