Habits are the invisible architecture of daily life. When we change our habits, we change our lives. If we have habits that work well for us, it\u2019s much easier to be happy.<\/p>\n

For that reason, ever since my habit-change book Better Than Before<\/a><\/em>\u00a0was published, people have asked me, \u201cWhat\u2019s the one habit that will make me happier? Where should I start?\u201d<\/p>\n

But the truth is, there is no one-size-fits-all solution to happiness. The answer depends on you.<\/p>\n

So I\u2019ve developed a short quiz to help you identify the right answer, right now, for you<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Take the Habits for Happiness Quiz<\/a><\/h3>\n

The quiz is helpful, because it\u2019s surprisingly difficult to know ourselves. We get distracted by what we assume is true, or by what other people tell us, or what we wish were true, and we lose sight of what\u2019s true for ourselves.<\/p>\n

In just a few questions, this quiz will give insight into what habit would do the most to boost your happiness. The answer may surprise you, or it may confirm what you already know. Either way, it gives you a starting place.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s useful, because sometimes we get so overwhelmed by the changes that we want to make that we can\u2019t move forward. We don\u2019t know where to begin, so we don\u2019t begin.<\/p>\n

Some people\u2014especially Questioners<\/a>\u2014can fall into analysis-paralysis, where they can\u2019t choose among many appealing options. It\u2019s a relief for them to decide, \u201cI\u2019ll start by following the quiz\u2019s advice, and learn from there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also, sometimes we don\u2019t admit to ourselves what we really want. The answer feels too charged, or too poignant, or too demanding, so we don\u2019t acknowledge it. It\u2019s hard to admit, \u201cI don\u2019t have many friends,\u201d \u201cMy spending is stressing me out,\u201d or \u201cMy life doesn\u2019t reflect my values.\u201d<\/p>\n

For this reason, the quiz asks what you would \u201cmagically\u201d do. This \u201cmagic\u201d language helps you to look past practicalities and previous experience to think about what you really want.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the funny thing: some people\u2014especially Rebels<\/a>\u2014get a result, decide to ignore it, and do something entirely different. Which is great! Sometimes getting a result you don\u2019t<\/em> want can reveal what you truly do<\/em> want.<\/p>\n

As long as the quiz helps to reveal a habit that will make you happier, it\u2019s doing its job.<\/p>\n

Unlike the Four Tendencies personality framework<\/a> which reveals an inborn tendency that remains consistent throughout our lives, you\u2019ll get different answers to the Habits for Happiness Quiz<\/a>\u00a0when you take it at different times.\u00a0<\/p>\n
