About this ebook

Every one may be a migrant, if he or she lives in a place other than where they were born. But the problem that some migrants face is ‘How to achieve happiness’ in their new surroundings. The tool, measuring for happiness, is personal criteria (which varies from person to person), but should be coherent with social standards of living.

  In this regard - Migrants who learn how to convert their wishes to goals and adapt their personal criteria to the standard of living will achieve happiness.

Happy Migrants is about the migrants who would like to live happily in their newly chosen destination.

By reading this book and following the four steps to happiness and reading the migration stories of Pedro, Laura, Maria, Edward, Nancy, and Safura (happy migrants), you will learn: 1) How to convert your dreams and wishes to goals, 2) How to design your road-plan to achieve the goals and, finally, 3)  How to achieve happiness.

    About The Book:

    This book is a research work and describes the migrants’ challenges for learning how they can adapt their personal criteria to the standard of living. 

    In this work, the author researched the following sources for the literature of this book:

    1- For efficient collection of certain kinds of information about the personal criteria or the factors of quality of life, a common practice was to use answers to four survey questions. The Statistical populations for survey questions are: LinkedIn members, Social Networks (Instagram and Face book) and interview survey questions in libraries, public places, English language training centers and Welcome centers in Toronto, Canada.

According to the author, having useful information or knowledge is the chosen strategy for such a challenge.

    3- Pyramidal model of the human understanding hierarchies, according to Russell. Ackoff:

    According to Russell Ackoff, the content of the human mind can be classified into five categories which are called the hierarchies of understanding:

    Data: signs and symbols

    Information: data that is processed by meaning or rules provides answers to ‘who’, ‘what’, ‘where’, and ‘when’ questions

    Knowledge: application of data and information providing answers to ‘How to’ questions

    Understanding: perception of ‘why’ questions

    Wisdom: evaluation of understanding
