Is it crazy to want a happy life? The host of Jesus Is Real Radio and Hillsong Channel s Real with Daniel Fusco unlocks the happiness we long for in the most famous teachings of Jesus and the apostle Paul. Don t just skim through this book quickly. Savor it and discuss it with a friend. Your personal happiness is at stake. Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life, from the foreword
Dissatisfied with your life? Yeah, most of us have been there. There s no shame in wanting to be happy, but real satisfaction often eludes us. At best, what fleeting happiness we find tends to dribble away in never-ending debts, stressful deadlines, and mindless scrolling. At worst, it s chased away by anxiety, depression, or fallout from our selfishness.
Here s the truth: whether we hunt for happiness in parties, bars, the workplace hustle, or even in church pews, we ll wind up shortchanged. Why? Because we don t see our lives as beautiful.
But God wants something better for you happiness so real this world might think it s too good to be true.
In Crazy Happy, Daniel Fusco unpacks fresh connections in two of the Bible s most familiar passages secrets of happiness that can really, truly, honest-to-goodness change things. If you stick around for the ride, you ll find the kind of God-given beauty that can change your life for good even in our sometimes-crazy world.

1Let s Get Crazy Happy
I want to ask you a big question. But first I want to give you a moment to get ready. Don t worry. This isn t a hard question. It isn t overly personal either. But it is an important question. And you don t want to overthink the answer.
Are you ready?
Take a moment. Breathe in. Breathe out.
Here it is: What is the happiest moment you can remember?
You got it? What is it?
I bet it s amazing.
My answer is simple: My wedding. It was absolutely over-the-top beautiful.
Now, I m not saying that to score some extra brownie points with my bride, Lynn. Seriously, my wedding was beautiful. To this day, it was one of my happiest moments.
We got married in Yosemite in an Ansel Adams photograph. You know the kind I m talking about: black-and-white film stills of the Sierra Nevada backcountry, windswept and rugged, with no one but the mule deer and bighorn sheep for company.
As a guy who grew up in New Jersey, I was blown away by the beauty of Yosemite National Park the first time I went there. I was on a road trip with a few buddies I grew up with, and we were checking out the national parks in California, southern Utah, and Arizona. But Yosemite was absolutely insane. As I looked around, I couldn t speak. I was used to the awe of being surrounded by huge buildings and millions of people, but now I was standing in the middle of the most majestic, awe-inspiring place I d ever been. I found myself just spinning in a circle, my eyes glued to the crags and bluffs towering above me. If you ve never been there, I hope you can visit it sometime. Words can t really describe it.

Picture this: almost 95 percent of the park around 750,000 acres of land is wild and mountainous, some of the most untouched wilderness we ve got left in the United States. I wasn t kidding about the photo. Ansel Adams was captivated by Yosemite, which is why I m sure you ve probably seen the park in photos at some point, even if you ve never been there.
But the park is only the beginning of this story. Lynn always wanted to get married in Yosemite. During her childhood, she and her family would often visit this wonderful spot. It was one of her father and mother s favorite places, and it became even more special to Lynn when her mom passed away after a battle with cancer. Lynn had always dreamed of having her wedding in Yosemite.
When Lynn and I got serious enough to talk about marriage, we decided we wanted to get married at the Yosemite Valley Chapel. The chapel was originally built back in 1879, and it has that kind of old-mountain-chapel quality that hits you in all the right ways when you see it. It s located in the crook of the valley, and when you look around, you realize you are literally ringed on all sides by cliffs bigger than anything you ve ever seen, pockets of meadows, and (as if that weren t breathtaking enough) an incredible view of Yosemite Falls.
What could be more beautiful, romantic, and memorable than getting married in such a stunning spot and on the first day of spring? Lynn and I couldn t think of anything we d like better. So imagine our excitement when we called the park service and a ranger told us the chapel was available for that date! We couldn t believe our luck.
But then we were told, Well, given the time of year and our elevation, you ve got a fifty-fifty chance of getting snowed out, and you might not be able to make it into the park to get married. And oh yeah, if that happens, you still need to pay us for the rental even though you won t be able to get married that day.
Not exactly what Lynn and I were hoping to hear. It was a total bummer.
But if you know me at all, you can guess what we d
