This book, Happy Executive - A Systems Approach: Nurturing Mind, Body and Soul, presents easy-to-follow pathways to happiness and success based on the lifetime of personal and professional experiences of the author Dr. Appu Kuttan in the USA, India, Venezuela, Mauritius and other countries. The best of the wisdom of the East and the West is combined in the book. The first part of the book describes the Happiness System. Dr. Kuttan's advice for a happy life is simple-nurture daily: your mind by thinking positively and creatively; your body by eating healthy and doing physical activities you enjoy; and your soul by being grateful, loving, caring, compassionate and helpful towards everyone. As a 72 year-old healthy and happy person, Dr. Kuttan lives by example: he works out 72 minutes daily; he increases his work out by one minute every year; he practises yoga and meditation daily; he thinks positively and creatively daily; he deals with people around by being grateful, loving, caring and compassionate. He has shown up at work every day bright and early. Dr. Kuttan prescribes the Seven "P's" to success and happiness based on his lifetime of creating success and happiness for himself and others. His advice is: whatever you do, first establish your Purpose, then determine the best Pathway for you to get there, then carry out your program with Passion, Perseverance, Positivity, Patience and Principle-and you shall succeed! Ten practical tips for happiness are presented: nurture mind, nurture body, nurture soul, perform activities leading to mind-body-soul balance, practise mind-body-soul nurturing, live in the moment, live for a cause larger than yourself, set goals, objectives, visions and missions - be a systems thinker, use your resources effectively, and practise, practise, practise - it makes you better. A quick 2-minute quiz helps you determine your level of happiness, and guides you on your own pathway to happiness. The second part of the book shows how Dr. Appu Kuttan developed the Happiness System. The life story of Dr. Kuttan from his early years to his successful professional and philanthropic work is summarised, illustrating how he has developed and practised the happy executive concepts everyone can benefit from and use daily. This section includes several photos at the end of each of the three chapters. The third part of the book contains a systems approach for a happy India. This includes guiding suggestions to Indian leaders, executives and non-executives. This book is focused on Indian executives. A sequel to this book focused on US executives will be published soon.
