Product Description
by Liam Daniels (Author), Alice Moore (Editor)
Humans have been wondering about what it means to live "a good life" since the beginning of recorded history (and undoubtedly before that too). It is a question that continues to preoccupy us to this day, especially in such a fast-paced and ever-changing society. Is there a secret to living a good life? A meaningful life? This book argues, yes, there is. And let's just say happiness has a lot to do with it.
But what is happiness? Happiness is notoriously hard to define. This is because it is a deeply subjective experience unique to and for each person.
This book provides you with everything you need to know about happiness and how it works. Short and sweet, it conflates some of the latest ideas from fields like positive psychology and behavioral science with some of the oldest teachings and wisdom. It draws on advice from leading experts on happiness, as well as the author's own personal thoughts and experience.
What comes to your mind when you think about happiness? Financial freedom? Traveling more? Finding love? Some have all of these things already, but they still feel like they're missing something, why? The aim of this book is to make you realize that achieving happiness doesn't require anything or anyone, just you. It is much more within your grasp than you think.
In this book, you will discover:
- the most important source of happiness
- some common myths and misconceptions about happiness
- how to invest in the best practices of highly joyful people
- how to cultivate supportive, loving relationships with one question
- what you should prioritize most
- the mindset shift you may need
- how to optimize time
- how to build a healthy relationship with money
- how to find your purpose in life
- a few great exercises for self-reflection and deep introspection
- and more
If happiness is something you struggle with, you are not alone. As you will find out, feeling unhappy or having a lack of purpose in life is a distinctly human characteristic. It affects each and every one of us, regardless of our fortunes. It's what makes us extraordinary and vulnerable. Enlightened and lost. Embracing this fact is the first step toward becoming a happier, more joyful person.
Happiness is something we all deserve and have a right to. The resources are there, and they are bountiful, you just need to know how to tap into them.
