Nutrition expert Dr Michael Sharon says he has discovered the secret of happiness.

Michael Sharon is a happy man. He is not happy just because he is financially well off, although he is. He is not happy just because he has a loving relationship with his partner, although he has one. And although he is happy that his new book is being published, his happiness in not just about that.

Dr Sharon is happy is because he feels he has discovered the one thing we all crave more than anything else — the secret of how to achieve happiness. It took him a long time to work it out, but now that he has, he wants to share it with the rest of us. This is why he has written a book entitled The Magic of Self-Acceptance.

Dr Sharon, an Israeli who now lives in this country, certainly looks remarkably content as he sits sipping a coffee in Selfridges, just a short walk from his Central London home. He reckons he can sum up the entire message of his book in one sentence. “I have discovered that the way we think about ourselves affects every aspect of our lives. That is the essence of everything I am trying to say. I have realised that what you think and say actually creates your reality.
