Meet Dr. Dahlen, the man crowned the "world's first happiness professor" by Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter. So, why’s this polymath got the accolade? Correct guess - our species, with all its technological advancements, economic growth, and scientific breakthroughs, has skillfully avoided one tiny glitch: happiness and overall well-being. Basically, we've been slacking in making life a joy ride for everyone. It's high-time to rectify that shambles.

Now, you're wondering what the heck a happiness professor does. Well, imagine if there was a mathematics professor who understood every single mathematical formula, theory and equation, but still struggled to balance his own checkbook. That’s what being a happiness professor is like, except the stakes are a bit higher. (No pressure, dude.)
Dr. Dahlen's method to a happier life can be broken down into three, no-BS steps immune to scrambled eggs or out-of-order delivery:
- Fathom the mystery of joy and master self-control: Instead of constantly chasing temporal elations, you gotta get wise to the science behind happiness and equip yourself with self-management arsenal. Your inner Steve Jobs would be proud.
- Slay bad habits, beam in the good: Happiness has a pattern, my friends, and it's heavily influenced by everyday routines. Embrace positivity and witness life transform into a rainbow-colored rave.
- Pay it forward and educate the masses: Sharing the joy and spreading the good word will not only enhance your personal happiness journey, but it'll also lift up those around you. Consider yourself a modern-day happiness apostle, baby!
The professor's method mirrors the didactic style of his math prof dad, who taught that true understanding, practice, and teaching were the keys to mastering a subject and attaining inner satisfaction. (I cried during my last algebra exam, but that's neither here nor there.)
Dr. Dahlen also delves into the importance of enduring meaning, emotional fortitude, and deep relationships as true happiness catalysts. Keep your eyes peeled for guidance on cultivating optimism and hope, particularly among millennials, who thrive on liking memes and snapping selfies, but may lack emotional resilience and wisdom. (The memes will still be there.)
So, there you have it, folks. Dr. Dahlen's happiness-focused, science-backed, mind-blown approach to personal fulfillment involves self-awareness, attitude adjustments, and spreading the joy. So, let's party like it's 1999! (Does that make me old now?)
