Lionel Ketchian's Happiness Club

(WTNH) -- The road to happiness, how do you find it? Lionel Ketchian of Fairfield found such a path and he's telling everyone he knows, and they in turn are telling others.

Ketchian is founder of something called the Happiness Club and there are now 100 of these clubs around the world and there are happiness classes at Yale and Harvard. It's a part of positive psychology.

"Happiness shows you what you do have, rather than focusing on what you don't have," he said. "And we all don't have lots of things, we've all lost things, we all have lots to deal with. But if there's one word, it's appreciation, it's gratitude. Gratitude is 95 percent of happiness. If we can take stock and be grateful for every moment, then life becomes extremely great and it's simple to be in control.

"Right now, I'm totally grateful. I live in gratitude. It's in the moment. It's real. But then you suck the full flavor out of life, you're living in the moment, you're taking it all in and it's coming to you. And not only am I enjoying life, but when I'm enjoying life other people around me seem to enjoy it that much more because they -- it's infectious,  and they get some of it too.

"Probably the best advice I can give is that people try to volunteer or do things for others. That's a great way to be happy -- do something for someone else. I've been doing happiness work for free for years, and it's the greatest thing I've ever done. A lot of people may not understand that but there's an advantage."
