The Happiness Blueprint
The Happiness Blueprint is a 10-step process based on Drake's year-long journey to happiness. After realizing that going straight to college was not going to make him happy, Drake decided to face his feelings of sadness and lack of motivation. Coming out what Drake calls the "dark winter," Drake pulled himself out of a deep funk, and did the hard work to find his passion and authenticity, many of discovery that came through his travels and learnings from international cultures.
From the initial step of taking a Social Media Diet to 'Anything, Anywhere,' where you challenge yourself beyond your comfort zone to figure out who you are as a person, Drake guides you through the Happiness Blueprint, and how you can capitalize on creating a livelihood once you figure out what gets you out of bed each morning.
​
The Happiness Blueprint involves the hard work needed to be done on the home front, but also forces you out of your comfort zone to question your purpose.
Drake's on a quest to find purpose, more importantly, happiness, and is spending the next year traveling to learn as much as he can from other cultures. Drake's journey, experiencing cultures in Brazil, India, Ghana, Japan, and Israel has help him craft the Happiness Blueprint for others to follow.
