We had the good fortune of connecting with Andrew Lawrence and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Andrew, we’d love to hear what makes you happy.
I discovered the true secret(s) of being happy and live happily every day. Yes, I wrote a book about it: “The Happiness Transformation: how to be happy – NOW – and for the rest of your life.” I have been using the simple, fast, effective, free principles in the book for decades and live productively and happily in warm and sunny Los Angeles as a Creative. I write a blog (www.StuPittStuff.com), have written over 20 books that improve your life f-a-s-t. And am a fine art photographer with over 3,000 cool and colorful images in my portfolio (CoolColorPhotos.com). Like me, you have the power to make yourself happy, right now, you just have to learn how.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
As in all areas of my life as a Creative I am self-taught. My first book, “Stories Of A Lifetime; extraordinary events in an extraordinary life”, was written by me to me, as a way for me remember the incredible events in the incredible life I had, in case I developed dementia and lost my memories. It turned out to be a fascinating must-read literary book, and a life-improving motivation for anyone and everyone.

I also started a blog, a fun and funny blog. Here is the intro: “Online since 2009, the StuPittStuff.com blog is authentic, cool, fun and funny. Sometimes wildly entertaining, sometimes even brilliant, and occasionally serious. Based in America (in trendy L.A.) my Stu Pitt Stuff blog uses humor, wisdom and truth to shine a light on life, the big things and the little things.

Spend some time on this blog. If you do, you will laugh, you will learn things, and you might just improve your life. At the very least, you will smile. ”

And, finally, in 2019, I became a fine art photographer. From my website: “In his creative photographic fine art, specializing in Nature, Andrew Lawrence takes objects in his environment and turns them into cool color photos, fine art that can stimulate positive emotions, specializing in colors that evoke bright beauty and uplift the spirit.

His cool color photos can instantly brighten any space in any room, be it home, office or commercial establishment.” Being outside doing fine art photography in nature keep me sane and productive during the years of the Covid epidemic, and after.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
The Los Angeles area is actually made up of neighborhoods. Unique, different neighborhoods. There are too many “local” spots in the Los Angeles area that are cool. There are thousands, tens of thousands, of unique WOW places. Nature. Mountains, Beaches, Architecture. Street. Activities. Food. And they are spread out over hundreds of miles. And they keep changing over time, sometimes radically. It would take decades to visit them. Re friends and family visiting me I might just go with them on a good existing highlights tour.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to thank the metaphysical universe, and Nature, for sharing the secrets of living and becoming who you are.
