The Unified Theory of Happiness
based on how we treat each other
Hi, I'm Dan
For a good chunk of my life I have been an entrepreneur. I have brought products to market from inception through manufacturing to distribution. I have brought a manufacturing company from near bankruptcy through to industry dominance. I have built a SaaS company that automated the most tedious tasks of ad creation.
Through it all, I have led my life, and the people for whom I had the pleasure of leading, with happiness. It has been the single greatest source of all my success.
Over the past several years I have been researching and writing about my particular brand of finding joy in the hopes of not only understanding better for myself where my particular philosophy derives from, but to answer the one question I get asked most often:
“How can you always be so damned happy?”
Happiness, as many people will tell you, isn’t any one thing, it is a collection of a bunch of things. Yet they never seemed to have any real connection other than being “waypoints” to something greater. If you did any of them or all of them, you’d get closer to whatever it is that happiness means for yourself, but it wasn't a linear path (do A, then do B). It was a gymnastics routine.
But then I uncovered the connection.
Zenith Unum is a system of thinking (and seeing the world) in a way that shows how anyone can find these waypoints - pillars, if you will - and then tie them together to form a clearer path to their own happiness.
You only need to know what to look for. It’s a quest. It’s a quest you are already on.

ZENITH
THE UNIFIED THEORY OF HAPPINESS
Zenith is the ultimate goal of finding happiness (as you define it) for yourself. Then, taken to the logical extreme, the realization that everyone is looking for the exact same thing. And then understanding that that realization, in itself, can be a source of happiness. And then appreciating that the only way to be a champion for your own happiness is to be a champion for others' happiness.
“I wasn’t prepared for how funny this thing is.”
“Zenith showed me that by embracing small improvements I now enjoy the process as much as the result.”
“Learning to share in others’ joy, has been a game-changer. I fuel myself with small happy moments. ”
BE THE
KIND STRANGER
I am looking for an army. Well maybe not an army. A phalanx. Not even a phalanx. I’m just looking for a few good people who are willing to show kindness to others for no reason other than simply to be kind. It’ll be fun.
You need no special tools, or fancy gizmos. You don’t get a car that turns into a submarine or a watch that shoots lasers. We don’t have the budget for that. You’re going to have to rely on your wits, your bravery, and your exceptional good looks.
This course provides the details.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to be The Kind Stranger. It’s a secret mission. No one can find you out. Your task is to make someone's day just a little bit better - on the sly.
Do you have what it takes?
Zenith Unum reframes life's inherent chaos into an opportunity for "amused wonder at what you are experiencing." It teaches that true fulfillment, defined by you, comes from mastering micro-actions through pillars like Truth, Fact, Honesty, Curiosity, Trust, and Clarity. Readers gain practical tools to cultivate sustainable joy in everyday existence.
