Why?
And for all of you that feel the same way – this is exactly
what this book is about – namely how you and your fellow
human beings can find your and theirs true self and
become human doings that actually change the world big
scale in to something that we all want deep in our hearts –
namely to find, give and share happiness for the
sustainability of Our Purpose, People, Planet and Profit in
that priority i.e, and that in a totally different way than
anyone of us people or perhaps only a few of us are doing
today.
Happiness 4 all
(too simple – why?)
Happiness 4 all
– isn’t that the least life should bring, if not so then why
not? Dig deep in your heart and ask yourself why not?
– and you have already taken your first step towards this
new perception of your life.
I recently read a wonderful book by Wayne Muller, "Sabbath: Restoring the Sacred Rhythm of Rest."
(Bantam Books, April 1999) The following passage points to this important step to happiness:
"The noise of our lives made us deaf, unable to hear when we are called, or from which direction.
Henri (a friend of Muller's and a priest) said our lives have become absurd -- because in the word
absurd we find the Latin word absurdus, which means 'deaf.' In our spiritual life we need to listen to
God who constantly speaks but whom we seldom hear in our hurried defense.
On the other hand, Henri was fond of reminding me that the word obedient comes from the Latin word
audire, which means 'to listen.' Henri believed that a spiritual life was a pilgrimage from absurdity to
obedience -- from deafness to listening."
If you're living a loud life of absurdity, it's important to add in moments of peaceful rest and solitude so
you can listen and hear life call to you.
Introduction
What is this book actually about?
It’s about how you can create a happy private life and a successful career - not either or but both and.
And when you're talking life, it is about the challenges you all review and happens to us. As an experienced
business man with the wisdom from a long life, it provides help to raise awareness and create opportunity from a
different angle, so that you by taking good care can avoid falling into the worst traps that life offers.
The book is intended as a working tool that you can look up in when you need it, depending on the situations you
have come in by themselves or through others, and gives you instructions to minimize unnecessary stress and
illness, and create a good life with a healthy lifestyle that gives you the basis for also creating a good career
where you have yourself the whole way and you want go all the way in a good way. The book gives you the
sense of things is to know in a simple and workable way.
It's about getting to the core, you all have - where you are unique, find what you have to offer and what you have
to give, but also very much what you have to be able to get the most out of it in a way you can afford to.
"People are the key. Humans are meant to grow. That leadership is also about quality of life and health. To work,
leadership, performance and cooperation are linked. In many books on management and HR, man is an
instrument - an instrument, something that can be pushed, pulled, threatened and motivated - a resource, a
human capital - something that can be purchased on labor markets and provided with incentive programs, fringe
benefits, talent management and many other different such inventions to get it to move in an inevitable direction.
"And then he writes further:" It may be good enough. But where is the respect for the individual and its core
throughout the mountain of literature, which regards people as little machines? All people have a positive core,
consisting of human qualities and potential. The kernel is the original and deepest in man and when man is in
touch with its core it is in contact with all the vivid and natural in themselves. In essence lies all human resources
and qualities - both those individuals know, and those who still only have the germ and could develop if given the
right conditions. "
What this book and the underlying process is about helping you to find the germs and everything else that can
be developed - and then give you the tools to create the conditions that you can develop it, alone or with others
so that you can have a completely different role in your life and the lives of others and the labor market, you want
to go out and make a difference in.
In short: It's about You - your awareness and how you are re-creating yourself.
Preword
The purpose of this book is to give students and other good people some of the things they lack or have been
saved for them through their study - namely the ability to distinguish between what is appropriate and not
appropriate in life and in the job.
Through your higher education you will learn many things and related to the development of your mental
intelligence (IQ) but not much about life as a nutshell, interaction with others (emotional intelligence EQ) and its
relationship to the society and the world you live in. It often means that when the students get into jobs so they
must first enter an adjustment process which can be extremely painful and often destructive, especially since
some are not really aware of the needs, talents, passion and conscience, he or she has or will develop, and
therefore tries to align themselves with the already established systems where they do not fit.
Through my work as a manager and management consultant in my country and abroad, I have seen the same
pattern of power struggles, competition, fights, insensitivity, lack of willingness to cooperate and objectives to be
pursued without regard to costs on the individual's mind, body and soul, and I have therefore developed and
implemented a 3-month program for students which allows them to see through relationships and patterns, and
their own situation in a way as to prevent the landing of those things - unless they choose it. This program I've
recorded on CD, which then have been merged and spiced with a little more of my own experiences and
examples.
Many have asked me why I do what I do and I think I can best respond to relate myself to the root causes of my
program, developed for some time and through some processes and development activities with me, some of
which are used in business within the last 15 years.
But why is it important we can start by asking ourselves - it is because the problems we have created a level of
consciousness can not be corrected with the same level of consciousness - we must therefore constantly ensure
our ability and desire to move - evolution -- if we must correct our ways and be and act on.
There is of course the higher purpose of ensuring that we - the human race - to move forward from the problems
we have created at the existing level - climate, war, incest, pedophilia, trigger-happy youth, extreme religions
and terrorism on a large degree.
Don Beck and Graves - have researched our evolutionary process and perceives that we are in a spiral-like
development with 9 levels - where we have to go through all levels, ie to say that we must constantly ensure that
the spiral is intact - and just support the process to move as quickly as possible through them so we can get to
the higher layers Tier 2 - based on the unity thinking and compassion instead of Tier 1 is based on fear.
Ken Wilber also uses this model to describe its model of holistic thinking in his AQUAL model. I, WE, IT, ITS -
and compares Beck / Graves 9 spiral levels Enneagram 9 levels of development.
Overall, everything I've read focused on us to develop ourselves through 9 levels to reach the spirituality which
ensures that we achieve unity thinking and balance - and make sure we are in the moment, acting in the moment
and making the future possibilities for action in moment v means of targeting and planning.
And not forgetting the joy of efficiency in getting our highest wish to come true and get done what we should -
Swallow the Frog by Brian Tracy gather this up quite well.
Look at society and feel what you see - are you satisfied? I think that young people want something different,
they have seen their parents get divorced, have a chronic psychosomatic illness, dying prematurely, or have no
joined life - there is another way - and I hope and believe that I can be with a small corner of it as needed to the
young people can change the development for themselves and for society.
I have always known that there was a new crusade to be on. But I needed to
decide which one would fulfil the body mind and spirit in others and myself.
Perhaps this story will be one of the most important stories for others who are
on a similar crusade as I. These are the people who want to assist in helping
other people to find their true purpose for the benefit of mankind. They want
to create a way to help all of us have a life filled with happiness, relaxation
and meaning.
Others on a similar crusade have become obsolete business models. Their era
diversity—at best, their era brought about a more stressful life for others.
• I Sense that each and one of us have the ability to make a unique
difference in today's troubled world, and by making that difference
you can help yourself as well as others to create more happiness.
• I envisage you raising your sights above your own ego, so that
everything you do is for the best for yourself, your relations and
ultimately all of us.
• I envisage that you are able to find your true purpose and by doing so
help other find theirs too, just by being yourself. To make this
possible I believe you have to give without expectations, to love
without conditions, and to honour every human being and everything
in the world and the universe at its own right.
• I feel we all have to become more spiritual purpose- and value
oriented and work for the higher good.
• I know that each one of us, have to take our own untraveled road to
find ourselves through good and bad times both equally important,
from unconscious ego´s to conscious wholeness and to travel the
spiral of evolution from the level of fear to the level of compassion.
• I envisage the results are that each one of us in work and life, take
our responsibility for the world in which we operate and from which
we create our wealth and happiness.
• I see myself becoming one of those happiness angels in my own
unique way, that contribute for the sustainability of Our Purpose,
Planet, People and Profit in that priority.

I’m sure you, as the reader, have a lot of questions. Let me begin to answer
them by telling you a little about myself and how I have come to be where I
am now.
My History in Brief
I am a 55-year-old man, husband and father from Denmark who has learned
to be proud of my heritage and the small country I call home. People from the
cold, northern part of Europe can influence the world in ways both good and
bad. I come from a hard-working family. My father died when I was four—at
least that’s what I was told. He was a forest-worker in Sweden, and as I got
older, my mother looked at me and said I looked more and more like my
father. But she didn’t tell me I was a love-child, a fact that would have spared
me a lot of pain and suffering. My mother was a strong woman with good
age 16 and had no other opportunity available to me other than entering the
workforce—so that’s what I did. It was not until much later in life that I
I met my first wife at the age of 16 and had two sons by the time I was 24-
years-old. We divorced later because I spent too much time building my first
I have always tried to live my life in the order of these standards: Be happy,
started to turn upside down, until profitability was my only focus and inner
happiness moved to the back burner. I still lived a good life and worked hard.
There was love, happiness, and materialism. Then, in 2002, it all crashed, and
many of the situations I found myself. I was often uncertain of whether or not
I was in the right place at the right time. In most cases, I learned to accept
things as they were. But other times, I could not accept them. I sometimes
One of these different routes took place in 2002 after a tough—and fun—
period of time when I worked for one of five large international management
consulting businesses. There were lots of downs and only a few ups.
As a result, I broke off and began my own company that would train other
leaders to use the seven habits described in Steven R. Covey’s book The
hypnosis guides, chiropractors, body therapists, old friends and others. It was
a trying period for my wife and sons and I thank them a lot for their patience.
As the saying goes, “If you want to change the world, start with yourself.”
And that’s what I did. And now I feel more at ease and more alive than I ever
have before. I can actually feel the energy level in my body for the first time
in 20 years.
After 5 years of learning and reading, a lot of pain and suffering as that is the
messages from the soul, I know I am ready for a big jump—and a new
I have worked in many different settings with different angles. Just recently
I realized we all should aim for a new role model in the world, one that is
similar to the old world with all the glamour that came with it. In other
and doing.
The Happiness Angel concept is a new way for me to give back all of the
good things I have received from others in my life. I have been privileged
enough to get what I ask for, even though it was hard at times. I believe that
you can achieve what you want. I also believe if you don’t die you will be
can allow our ambitions to come from within, leave our egos at the door and
set out to conquer the world as a part of the new global world of Happiness
organizations that will find, train, measure and celebrate these Happiness
workshop where we will works to establish a “Global Impact Day” that will
take place each year. This is a day where everyone will serve as a happiness
angel in the area of their choice and help us all to create a better world both
Jan B Frederiksen
I am the one who always has gone up on the barricades, fought for my team and fought for myself. And
sometimes I've had with heart - therefore Teddy bear. Other times I just pulled people down. It seems you also
have to get some knowledge about: Who are you that type? Has anything been consulted about the
Enneagram? .... (Jan tells what the Enneagram is). And I have found out that I have an 8's. And 8s have some
weaknesses - namely, that sometimes you so busy with tons Derudaf so you pass everything else. I have then
found out later in life, it was perhaps not so appropriate. But sometimes you only find out, when you are made
aware of it. So is the first step in your process that I just found out: Who am I and type? And how is it I must be
obs? I said from the outset here that it had something to do with consciousness. Consciousness is a pretty good
item to start doing something about. If you are constantly running on the unconscious and think: I can not be
changed or who am I? So is there really something. Awareness component is an extremely important part of it
here.
(Jan tells more about her career life: Consultant throughout his life - IT, strategy, people, leaving Deloitte, a local
shipping company, Business Development, business development, international + national leadership in 25
years. Deloitte in 4 years.)
It was f ... fun but also hard. So if you want it, you just know what you're getting into. And so it is with everything.
Sometimes it takes you some choices and then you find out - unfortunately too late sometimes - what the
consequences are. So it is with every election. You may not always know in advance what you enter in.
Sometimes you just take it step - have the courage to do it and then see what happens. Not? Come on. It is not
harder than that you can always come back. Or is it? .... Do you want to resign, if you first come up? ... So what
is it you have to do? You have to be sure that you have alone with the whole way. You have to be sure that you
dare to go the whole hog. I have also been trained to take your first step A, then you also take the step B. And
unfortunately there are some people where it goes really wrong for them. It is obviously true regret and feel sorry
for them. Luckily I have not been there. But I've also been in stressful situations, I've also been in depressive
situations, so I've been all along. And that is what I hope.
My motto is about being happy, having fun, making a difference, be profitable in several dimensions, not just the
business part of it. And be myself. And unfortunately, I must say I was in a moment and be very focused on the
here and unfortunately missed some of the other things. It creates a depression. Because when you find out that
you actually sit the wrong place and doing the wrong things. Then you have to find out what you can do to make
it better. And life is not always just a road. Sometimes there is such a bib number into the middle, which just tells
one: Hey, there was something here you lost en route. Or: How do you regain it again now. And there's a
Chinese proverb that says if you are busy and very busy all the time, so it may well be that you just must stop to
get to the soul. I must admit. I'd forgotten at least for a time in my life. I hope that this is some of what you'll learn
here: Oops, stop straight up and then see what happens.
I bring wisdom, inspiration, fun and joy with this workshop. The reason for my writing this is that it's not enough
to get. It is also important to give. So - just a little when you multiply your team, so I come to tell you a little about
what you bring to this workshop. It is not just a question and give from me. It is also a question of giving the
group ....
Jan "s mission, values and objectives - updated in La Gomera 07-April 2008.
Life Purpose:
Create happiness and consciousness in the world through Love, Courage, Being, Inspiring --
Healing between people (Love)
Be a role model (Courage)
Show the Way (Being)
Grow people (INSPIRE)

PQ: economic independence and freedom, Great health / vitality (Feel healthy every day)
EQ: Fun to / from all (be a gift), Respect for the individual (openness), Life Partner (love)
Goals:
1. Write bestselling book of business and people (get ready to live the life you want two live)
Fear makes us fight or flight – which build stress hormones in the body; moves blood from forebrain
and other vital parts to arms and legs which gives unintelligent readiness for what we need to do.
Love makes us open for everything and keeps the forebrain and other vital organs filled with blood
which creates intelligent behaviour for what we need to do.
Fear is not something we should work from constantly, as it was only meant to be in place for when the
tiger or lion arrives when hunting, however today’s society brings most of us there everyday 7/24/365 –
due to our perceptions of life and work situations. That means that most of us are in a constant
unintelligent subconscious situation, working from our habitual and biological inheritance – we
are unconscious incompetent.
However change don’t come easy – and many that have tried to change habits know how hard it can be
until you got it. Let
me share a secret with you, the only thing you need is
courage to do what you need to do, then the rest comes by itself – to
really change start moving into another environment – i.e. that is if you are a
drug addict – any great effort you do demands so much more of you in the same environment – so
move.
Too much? Maybe, but trying doesnt hurt , and you just
wait and see what will happen in you.
My mission:
(So, how am I going to do that – well first of all I can do
nothing alone – so I need all your help to make this
happen.
A new Happiness and peace academy in each region of the world every
year, with use of local partners and abundance principles of sharing,
based on co-creation, love and compassion for each other and our planet.
(yes I am sorry – but too many adults are not to save until
their crises hit them – which creates consciousness to some
but not all)
– the age 4-30 are the ones that have the vested interest
and are our new leaders in this world – and the ones that
can find the consciousness they came in to this life with
quickly as they are not too distorted – without having to
go through all life´s crises before realizing what is needed
to do.
"What a distressing contrast there is between the radiant intelligence of the child and
the feeble mentality of the average adult."
-- Sigmund Freud
Young children possess what Zen calls ‘beginner’s mind.’ They are awed and fascinated with the
wonder of the world, open to discovering and experiencing new things. Anything is possible. Life is a
great adventure.
For almost all of us, the systems that ‘educate’ us to be adults stifle our natural joy and curiosity. We
lose touch with our innate appreciation of life. We forget how to dream.
The blessing is that with attention, patience and love, we can reawaken our sense of wonder. We can
again dance with life.

Connecting the dots/Overall Purpose of Happiness and Peace Academy
Purpose/Missio
The power of
Wholeness
Synergistic co
To Conscious
Just recently I listened to Andrew Cohen and Barbra Max-Hubbard
US
about “Higher we” and it just inspired me to be hitting the ground and
start doing what I have been thinking about for many years but really
seriously almost 24 months now – to inspire all of us to create a
happiness planet or planet of happiness. So as Andrew Cohen and
Barbra Max Hubbard was discussing where and who would take lead on
Happines
making communities related to the conscious evolution happen. Well
WE
Happiness and Peace Academy is but one way to EXECUTE.
Ha
I
Happiness Ange
As we work from the inside out – and through the Happiness process in
our hearts goes from Fear to Compassion – and starts thinking and
acting from “I” to “US”, we will see major change anywhere – actually it
becomes a win/win or no deal for everyone. But it certainly demands
courage to change the pattern of today – and we will see serious
resistance from people, organizations etc but the evolution is inevitable –
change will happen for the best. We can take giant steps or baby steps –
from one trained Happiness Angel to a Happiness Planet through
Happiness Teams, groups and Networks to Happiness Companies and
Happiness Communities – it is all up to us to find our way.
But also the underlying power of the course itself gives input to this:
An whether you believe in God or not or in any god for that matter is not
the real importance – the Power is in You to change what needs to be
changed – and whatever you believe and perceive will happen – because
You and only You are the creator of your own life on earth – whether
you like it or not – and you have with you the things from past lives,
some good karma and some bad karma – but by being good you can
change the bad karma. Believe it or not.
Now I will use a phrase used in other totally different settings in Business
Life – but it really makes sense here in a slightly different form.
Things will happen to you, whether you like it or not – the
question is whether you want to be in control of it or not –
in this lays your perception of things.
• Threshold – You have a personal threshold for what you can handle
coming at you from your environment, based on your personal map
of reality. All dysfunctional feelings and behaviours are really coping
methods we use in an attempt to deal with being pushed over this
threshold.
• Witnessing – The ability to step aside and watch yourself as you feel
and act is an acquired skill that takes time and practice to develop.
But doing so will profoundly change your life. This skill is the
antidote to resistance, which means it is your primary tool to end
suffering in your life.
Our Ego will fight this anytime – and that is exactly our biggest battle –
and where our consciousness in action is the silver bullit – so the best is
actually to leave your EGO outside your door before entering into this
Journey (easier said than done – I know – but try anyway physically like
leaving a shadow or dog outside, when you enter a room – or even put up
a sign saying
