Illustrators Ralph Lazar

and Lisa Swerling got
the idea for Happiness is…
while sitting together one
day in a hot tub at their
home in California. Lisa had
just finished answering all
her emails, and she said
‘Happiness is having an
empty inbox’. Ralph replied
‘Happiness is getting into a
hot tub’. They began to list
things which made them
happy, and illustrated them.
Later they asked people on
Facebook ‘What makes you
happy?’ and Ralph drew and
posted on Instagram the
ones they liked best…
