It isn't as easy as you might think!
According to Professor Daniel Gilbert in his book, 'Stumbling on Happiness', most people don't know what makes them happy. They think they do, but, according to his research, they're wrong! It's not that they are necessarily unhappy. Just that, they could be much happier.

A typical face-to-face training session consists of a presentation by a facilitator, followed immediately by an activity to apply the learning. There is little time for reflection or deeper analysis and, as a result, activities intended to deepen learning, like role plays, tend to be superficial. 
There’s a quick debrief and then on to the next topic. No chance to go away and experiment in the real world in situations where there is something at stake. At the end of the training day, you’re exhausted and any learning from earlier in the day is rapidly fading.
There is a limit to how much knowledge can be crammed into the human brain in a single day.
And then, when you return to work, you have to catch-up on all the stuff that accumulated while you were away. Often, you don’t even try to apply your learning – you’re too busy getting stuff done and within days the training is a fuzzy blur.
What a waste of your time – and money!
