Help Yourself to Happiness

Więcej o książce

A commonsense approach to achieving a balanced and happy outlook on life. Happiness can be tantalisingly elusive! We may think we know exactly what we want but then why are we unhappy? Often we face a barrage of half truths and mixed messages. This book helps you sort out what is working in your life, and what areas you may need to reassess. Explore your happiness goals. Sometimes the methods we use to pursue happiness are counter-productive. For instance, one popular attitude says that being an independent, in-charge individual will lead to happiness. This is wrong! Feeling happy usually comes from successful interaction with others. The gung-ho let's-just-do-it attitude is also misleading because it focuses totally on the moment. Most happy people have both short- and long-term plans. Questionnaires and exercises in every chapter can be done individually, or with the family, or a trusted friend.
