Choosing Happier

Choosing Happier is a book about our potential for living a much happier life when we learn and practice some very simple but powerful habits and ways of looking at the world. This book busts the modern happiness myths that assert that we can find lasting happiness through having more money, buying more things, or being famous, successful or powerful. Instead, it provides science-backed, actionable, effective, and simple practices that can make being happier a whole lot easier whoever and wherever you presently are. It turns out that our ability to be happy is not dependent on our circumstances - our degree of happiness is an inside job and something that we can influence and choose! In its essence, this is a book of joy, for it combines ancient wisdom and modern positive psychology, valuable insights into why we have got lost in pursuing happiness but not finding it, powerful but simple practices that make it easy to turn this situation around, and all interwoven with inspiring and humorous quotes about happiness and life. Rather than this book just being an interesting read, it has been written in a way that encourages and enables the reader to actually increase their levels of authentic happiness. The author has even provided multi-media tools, MP3 meditations and an online community forum to support readers to make that shift into greater positivity with ease. Being happier is not the only end goal of this book. It has been shown that happier people are more creative, successful, productive, healthy, resilient and they have better relationships too - what's not to like about these additional outcomes? In the bigger picture, happier people are more content, kind and generous. The more authentically happy people there are around the planet, the better off we all are. If you read this book and do the exercises regularly you will develop empowering "happy habits" that will naturally increase your contentedness and joy, while reducing the time that you spend stuck in negative emotions. Don't put learning these skills and habits off and remain in unnecessary unhappiness when you could become one of those people who seem to be able to cruise through life's challenges with a smile on their face. So read this book and learn the simple skills that will enable you to choose to be happier now!
