Live Happy Magazine Features Anthony Anderson on Cover of September/October Issue

DALLAS, Sept. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Live Happy's September/October issue, on newsstands today, highlights the importance of prioritizing positivity and finding purpose and meaning in everyday activities. Emmy-nominated actor Anthony Anderson—featured on the cover—gives us a glimpse of where his inner strength, character and resilience come from and shares the latest on how he manages multiple work projects, family life and a rigorous fitness routine while keeping it all real—and fun.

Live Happy, a first-of-its-kind publication combining the science of happiness with practical advice from positive psychology experts to help readers lead happy and productive lives, dedicates the September/October 2015 issue to the pursuit for greater meaning and purpose in life and the power of positive education. Research featured in the issue shows that people who focus on activities that are designed to increase their well-being are more satisfied than those who purely focus on happiness as an outcome. For the back-to-school season, the issue also highlights surprising, new solutions to bullying that give all children—not just the bullies—new life skills to prevent confrontations before they occur.

"In this issue we explore how to take steps daily to create lives of meaning and joy," says Deborah K. Heisz, Live Happy's co-founder, COO and editorial director. "Surrounding yourself with like-minded people and making adjustments to build toward a goal can make all the difference in the direction your life can take you."
