Download or read book Happiness Skills Workbook written by Tchiki Davis, Ph.d. and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-12-03 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A must-have resource for anyone trying to balance personal well-being with a growing list of competing priorities, The Happiness Skills Workbook compiles scientifically-supported activities so people can learn the skills that help them live a more satisfying, meaningful, and fulfilling life. On college campuses, the demand for mental-health services is as much as doubling in a single year. At companies, there is an epidemic of employee burnout. And at home, increasing economic and social pressure is leading to an entire generation of stressed-out kids. Now we are at a precipice. People are beginning to realize that skyrocketing mental-health-care costs, increased workplace attrition, and lackluster academic performance can all be improved by developing people's happiness and well-being. Although scientific research has uncovered dozens of ways that people can improve their happiness and well-being, there is not yet a resource that helps people to easily learn, grow, and practice these skills. A simple, practical, and fun resource for developing happiness skills is long overdue.
Download or read book The 7 Core Skills of Everyday Happiness written by Scott Wilhite and published by Whispering Voice Books. This book was released on 2016-12-03 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yes, Virginia, happiness is a skill (or more accurately a set of skills), and yes, you can absolutely get better at them. Master these skills and you will be better able to manage stress and anxiety. You'll actively choose to focus on building positive relationships. You'll sharpen your ability to be mindful and fully present. You'll recognize how incredibly often you are the recipient of deliberate kindness and you will experience intense swellings of gratitude. You'll strive for ways in which you can live with more significance. Overall, you will become more alive, awake, and aware. This book will help you turn these skills into habits, and the habits into a positive healthy lifestyle. What's most amazing is this is all backed by science. Top-tier universities have been leading the charge with breakthrough research in the emerging area of positive psychology, a new branch within the long established field of psychology. What if the things holding you back from greater happiness and success were so simple you could make just a few small tweaks and immediately see positive change in your life? And what if they were so deceptively simple, you've gone your whole life unaware of them? You've been programmed and conditioned repeatedly by negative forces. Are you ready to be more deliberate about your mental conditioning? You will best achieve this through mental focus and storytelling. This is where author Scott Wilhite shines. As a professional storyteller (he's an award-winning commercial filmmaker), he wraps the ideas and concepts around highly memorable stories that serve as mental triggers so you can easily implement them in your life. You probably don't realize how often you are telling yourself stories-stories that are often working against you. The fact is, you are more creative than you think. Learn techniques for rewriting those stories and you will begin to live more intentionally and more abundantly.

Without losing a pound, changing our hairstyle, or buying a single new accessory, we find healthy love moving closer . . . Deeper Dating integrates the best of human intimacy theory with timeless spiritual truths and translates them into a practical, step-by-step process.

And this pursuit of Happiness is the single unifying element of all humans, regardless of age, race, heritage, social background... Even if we disagree on everything else, we agree on this one: we all want to be happy!I believe that Happiness is an Art.Every form of art is actually an expression of a particular skill, a very unique expression of each artist. Therefore, Happiness is as unique in its individual meaning as the artist himself or herself. And if Happiness is a skill, then like all skills it can be studied, learnt and mastered. Levels of individual Happiness can go up and down, and like any other skill, it needs a bit of polishing and nourishing from time to time...Have you ever wondered if there is a secret formula to Happiness? I can tell you right now, that yes, there is one. You are the key to your own Happiness. But it is a journey which only You can start... because You are the best expert on Yourself...Right now, you are at a unique stage in your life, still in chrysalis like an unborn butterfly. Are you ready to find out what makes you tick?
