During this challenge, you'll try to let go of the mythical ideal diet; we will focus on continuous improvement rather than perfection.

During the 21 days of the challenge, we'll look at opportunities to clear away foods that are hindering your health and replace them with better ones.

Happiness doesn't have much to do with money, with achievement, or with possessions, because plenty of people have all three and are still not happy. In this guide, we'll approach happiness not as something you have, but something you actively do.
