Have Fun – Change The World
I’m Diane Reading — I write philosophy disguised as bedtime stories. Pragmatic Idealist™, Scribe to the Happiness Dragons™, survivor of nonsense, believer in magic — enjoying the wild ride of remembering who we are.” Whispering Joy Loudly.
For decades I’ve explored one deceptively simple idea: you don’t need to change what you’re doing to change your life. You need to change how you’re being. Everything I write and share comes back to that.
If you really want to grok everything I’ve written, taught, and coached, read the Happiness Dragon books.
Let’s Chat About You

Sometimes you don’t need another book. You need someone to talk it through with. I offer private, one-to-one conversations for whatever’s on your mind: a change, a decision, or the question of what’s next. No pressure, no program. Just good, honest time with someone who’s been listening to people for a very long time.
