Publisher's Synopsis
Everyone wants to be happy, right? Yet so few of us seem to find the happiness we all are craving. In spite all of the books, programs, classes, products, and videos out there, many people are still not living the happier lives they want.We are not as happy as we want for very simple reasons: 1. we do things that don't make us happy; 2. we don't work on removing the hindrances to our happiness; 3. we don't develop the thinking and choosing skills that would make us happier; and 4. we think we should just get happiness somehow quick and easy from somethings outside ourselves.Mostly we are not ready to do the work necessary to live a happier life. We have bought into all of that because that is what much of the media and advertising we have been exposed to has taught us.For people who are tired of all of that and are ready to expend a little effort in order to actually live a more fulfilling and happy existence, THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU.In this book, you will learn 1. the things that don't work (very important to stop doing what isn't going to get us there!), 2. the things that have been getting in the way and hindering our happiness and what to do about them, 3. the things we need to cultivate in order to live a happier life, and 4. practical suggestions for ordering our lives and our internal world toward a life lived better than what we have experienced thus far.There are no quick fixes. There is not one thing to buy or take or do that will make us happy in the long run. We will need to give up some things, work on our inner world, and learn to be more aware and more intentional with our thinking and choices.The good news is these things are within our reach. Equipped with the right knowledge and tools, we can do this! This book is a starting point. It will lay out how to think and act that works if we do it.
