Nicholas A. Roes writes about the road to recovery in “A License to be Happy.” In this article, Nicholas tells his readers of the main denominators in the “ingredients of happiness.” The ingredients are known as optimism, gratitude, forgiveness and mutually satisfying relationships. He goes on to explain that one of the biggest obstacles in most people’s day-to-day lives is the constant thought of never being happy and end up supporting the idea that others can obtain happiness.

Roes states, “Clients need to give some serious thought to the specifics of what happiness would look like for them.”
