The
Happiness
Experiment
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail." — Benjamin Franklin
The Planner - The Happiness Plan
As a Planner, You Are
Happiest when…
You have a clear, well-structured plan with logical, step-by-step guidance. For you, happiness is built upon order, reliability, and efficiency. You feel at ease when you can see the path ahead, know exactly what steps to take, and trust that the plan will work as expected. Your joy comes from knowing that everything is laid out in a predictable, methodical way, and that your actions are aligned with achieving long-term success.
A Note from Carl Barney Author of
The Happiness Experiment
As someone who understands the importance of structure, clarity, and actionable plans, I created The Happiness Plan specifically for individuals like you—the Planners—who want a clear, predictable path to happiness. I know that you need more than just feel-good advice; you need a systematic approach that you can trust. That’s why I designed this challenge with a structured, step-by-step framework that will help you design your happiness logically, track your progress, and achieve the results you’re looking for.
The Happiness Experiment isn’t random feel-good advice—it’s a system built for individuals who prefer structure and proven methodologies. This book will guide you every step of the way, giving you the tools and strategies you need to make measurable progress toward your happiness.

What Holds You Back from Happiness?
What About Your Happiness Style Keeps You From Experiencing All the Happiness You Deserve
While your methodical approach is a major strength, it can sometimes hinder your ability to experience happiness more fully. Here’s where you might face challenges:
1. Overthinking and Over-Planning
You may get caught up in the details and lose sight of the bigger picture. Spending too much time refining your plans can delay progress. Remember, sometimes the best way forward is simply to start—and adjust as you go.

2. Perfectionism
Your high standards for yourself and those around you can lead to frustration when things don’t go as planned. While striving for excellence is important, accepting imperfection and recognizing progress will help you feel more satisfied and less stressed.

Happiness Advice for The Planner
To unlock greater happiness, here are three strategies you can apply:
1. Take Action—Even if it’s Imperfect
While planning is important, it’s essential to start executing. Imperfect action often leads to more learning and growth than staying stuck in the planning phase. Begin with a small step and adjust as you go—this will help you feel more confident and make quicker progress.
2. Embrace Flexibility
While it’s important to stick to your plan, allowing flexibility can open up new opportunities. Flexibility doesn’t mean giving up control; it means being adaptable when life requires it, allowing you to move forward without feeling overwhelmed.
3. Focus on Progress, Not Perfection
Celebrate your progress rather than focusing on achieving perfection. By acknowledging the small wins along the way, you’ll build momentum and stay motivated to continue on your journey toward greater happiness.
