Follow the Sun to Find Your Bliss

Michael Lutin

In SunShines: The Astrology of Being Happy, Vanity Fair astrologer Michael uses his wickedly funny wit and eerily accurate astrological predictions to show you where your obsessions get the best of you, and how to achieve real and lasting happiness.

According to Lutin, there are two kinds of happiness -- stolen and earned. Stolen happiness is the instant gratification we sneak around to the back of the barn to get. Our lives go South, however, when we get hooked on it. We fall into self-destructive behavior and dark obsessions that actually keep us from the joy we are on Earth to find, such as healthy, loving relationships with other people and feelings of success.

Earned happiness, the kind we honestly work for, gives us a sense of lasting fulfillment. Once we get back on course and find our True North, we finally succeed in following our dreams.
