E56 GUEST Maura Sweeney inspires the idea that changing the world starts within

After co-hosting a Saturday morning radio show here in Tampa Bay called The State of Happiness (launched as an upbeat alternative to the psychological, emotional and economic state of many following the 2008 recession), Maura Sweeney went on to blog, write books, develop a podcast, pen her own contributor column at HuffPost, interview on media and speak publicly on the topic of "Living Happy - Inside Out."

As the trademarked Ambassador of Happiness(R) - a moniker first given me by the UNESCO Center for Peace for speaking at the inaugural Nelson Mandela Day Celebrations - she shares a life philosophy on choosing, cultivating and harnessing our inward thoughts/emotions/imaginations/intentions to rest on a happy state of being -- something our world as a whole deeply requires.

The only thing to change ourselves -- and change our world -- for the better all begins from within.
