"You can change your pessimistic attitude by changing your behavior first. Normally, people think of attitude as something that leads behavior - like a horse pulling a wagon. But I want you to turn that around and think of a change in attitude as something that follows behavior - in effect, putting the cart in front of the horse!

This "cart-before-the-horse" approach I'm talking about is the essence of what has come to be called behavioral medicine, a new approach to health and well-being that I was privileged to help pioneer, where you literally behave your way into, in this case, happiness".  - Happiness for Dummies by W. Doyle Gentry, Ph.D.
