Happiness is already within your reach. It is a choice you make, an intention to live your life with inner calm, no matter what your circumstances are. Happiness is a state of mind, accessible anytime and anywhere, as long as you take action to choose it. Happiness Within Your Reach contains 52 actionable ideas on how you may realise your innate potential for happiness. The ideas are grouped under the 6 categories of the mnemonic SMILES- Self, Money, Interpersonal relationships, Learned happiness, Emotional checks and Situations of life. Using a creative mix of anecdotes, illustrations, tips, and exercises, the author shows how you can be truly happy right now.

Book excerpt: The first novel from Ian Douglas introduces us to Simon Hadlow, a New Zealand Policeman who has many experiences to his credit, including Diplomatic Protection Service and Undercover work. Simon finds himself in a conflicting situation when his brother in law is arrested on theft and burglary offences and Simon is asked by family member to arrange something to ‘get him off’. Preferring to transfer out of town, leaving behind his broken marriage, Simon establishes himself in the popular tourist town of Queenstown where he not only develops his career further but his personal life takes a much needed improvement. A transfer to the Christchurch Policing Area to assist with the management of an off the track Inspector, see’s Simon becoming involved in a particularly gruesome investigation involving the discovery of two severed arms, from different bodies. But where did they come from and what is the link to the Royal Artillery and the Falkland Islands ?

Download or read book The Path written by Michael Puett and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, an award-winning Harvard professor shares his wildly popular course on classical Chinese philosophy, showing you how ancient ideas—like the fallacy of the authentic self—can guide you on the path to a good life today. Why is a course on ancient Chinese philosophers one of the most popular at Harvard? Because it challenges all our modern assumptions about what it takes to flourish. Astonishing teachings emerged two thousand years ago through the work of a succession of Chinese scholars exploring how humans can improve themselves and their society. And what are these counterintuitive ideas? Transformation comes not from looking within for a true self, but from creating conditions that produce new possibilities. Good relationships come not from being sincere and authentic, but from the rituals we perform within them. A good life emerges not from planning it out, but through training ourselves to respond well to small moments. Influence comes not from wielding power but from holding back. Excellence comes from what we choose to do, not our natural abilities. In other words, The Path “opens the mind” (Huffington Post) and upends everything we are told about how to lead a good life. Its most radical idea is that there is no path to follow in the first place—just a journey we create anew at every moment by seeing and doing things differently. “With its…spirited, convincing vision, revolutionary new insights can be gleaned from this book on how to approach life’s multifarious situations with both heart and head” (Kirkus Reviews). A note from the publisher: To read relevant passages from the original works of Chinese philosophy, see our ebook Confucius, Mencius, Laozi, Zhuangzi, Xunzi: Selected Passages, available wherever books are sold.
Download or read book Optimal Happiness written by Roman Russo and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-30 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ask a million people to define happiness, and you get a million answers. They won't all be good answers, or at least the people who give you these answers won't be as happy as they wish they could be. After all, living in the most advanced society the world has ever seen, most people are still negative, depressed, and deal with a host of other problems that prevent them from being truly happy. Current literature does not have a solution to this problem either, as it does not address how all the different bits of happiness advice come together. With this, Optimal Happiness is the first model which combines different pieces of happiness advice and clearly states what we need to do to reach our maximum happiness potential today and how to maintain it forever.

Download or read book Joy on Demand written by Chade-Meng Tan and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-05-31 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A long-awaited follow-up to the New York Times bestselling Search Inside Yourself shows us how to cultivate joy within the context of our fast-paced lives and explains why it is critical to creativity, innovation, confidence, and ultimately success in every arena. In Joy on Demand, Chade-Meng Tan shows that you don’t need to meditate for hours, days, months or years to achieve lasting joy—you can actually get consistent access to it in as little as fifteen seconds. Explaining joy and meditation as complementary things that naturally reinforce each other, Meng explains how these two skills form a virtuous cycle, and once put into motion, become a solid practice that can be sustained in daily life. For many years, meditation has been taught and practiced in cultures where almost all meditators practice full-time for years, resulting in training programs optimized for practitioners with lots of free time and not much else to do but develop profound mastery over the mind. Seeing a disconnect between the traditional practice and the modern world, the bestselling author and Google’s “Jolly Good Fellow” has developed a program, through “wise laziness,” to help readers meditate more efficiently and effectively. Meng shares the three pillars of joy (inner peace, insight, and happiness), why joy is the secret is to success, and demonstrates the practical tools anyone can use to cultivate it on demand.
Download or read book Disney World Within Reach written by Lauralyn Johnson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-05-26 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I fell in love with Disney World in 2013. Since then, I've made it my mission to go back to Disney as often as possible. Moms are my true passion and helping them get to Disney is my way of supporting them. I've travelled to Disney from my home in Kentucky over 24 times in 2 years, usually with my four kids (ages 7, 5, 3 and 8 months) in tow. It took some creativity to spend over 120 days at Disney on an income that is below the median. Let me help you get there! I hope you're ready to laugh and learn because that's what I'm about. The book is seriously helpful, but not overly serious. I've done all the math for you so you can concentrate on the strategy, not adding and subtracting. But I do show you how to do it, so if you're so inclined you can apply it to your own situation. This isn't information that you can glean from a casual search on Pinterest. I have been actively and passionately searching for money saving ideas for over four years. And I've added my own original money saving ideas (which I've never shared before). Plus, I've put it all together into a convenient, easy and fun to read package. Because I'm not about that dry-book reading life. Throughout the book, I have two fictitious families: The Smiths who are a family of four, doing Disney as inexpensively as possible and the Robinsons who are a larger family, going all out, but doing it responsibly. We follow them through each strategy seeing how it effects their budget. Spoiler alert: both families save well over 50% by stacking certain strategies! Whether you're the Smiths or the Robinsons, or maybe you're the Johnsons (we fall somewhere in the middle), this book is going to change your vacation. And maybe your whole life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring age-old beauty and well-being traditions as well as the latest scientific findings on skin cells, this book--and the products and treatments it recommends--is the result of 15 years of research and experience. Jean-Louis Poiroux, founder of Cinq Mondes Spas, describes how the subtle interactions between body, mind, and skin can create a state of perfect equilibrium--and a feeling of outer and inner happiness, down to our very cells--or a state of imbalance, caused by unsuitable foods, stress, and cosmetics containing industrial byproducts and other chemicals. Drawing on the ancient teachings of Ayurveda and incorporating yoga, breathing exercises, and meditation as well as the natural active ingredients and micronutrients found in raw foods, super fruits, and vegetable super oils, he teaches you how to become happier, both inside and out.
Download or read book Lasting Happiness written by Andrew Parnham and published by Augsburg Books. This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all want to be happy, although 'happiness' can mean very different things to different people. But what if I don't feel happy? Is my life less worthwhile? And is there such a thing as lasting happiness anyway? Western society places great emphasis on the pursuit of health, wealth, and pleasure, with a general expectation that having these in abundance will lead directly to "The Good Life." But anxiety, depression, and loneliness are rife in our communities, and it is common for people to struggle with relationships and to feel they have a low sense of meaning and lasting fulfilment. Is there a better way for us to try to live? Andrew Parnham believes that there is, but such a way may take us in unexpected directions. In Lasting Happiness he invites us to explore this path in his company, looking beyond our immediate perceptions to consider our universal longings, the extraordinary way in which our brains engage with the world and ourselves, how healthy relationships develop and can be restored, and how meaning and fulfillment may actually be attained.
Download or read book The Dalai Lama s Big Book of Happiness written by Dalai Lama and published by Hampton Roads Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Come On, Get Happy! Everyone wants to be happy. Here in this profound volume is a road map for discovering a life filled with happiness, joy, and a sense of purpose. The Dalai Lama's basic premise is that each of us is responsible for our own health and happiness and for the health of society. He further asserts that health and happiness are within our reach—both individually and collectively. How a person thinks, behaves, and feels ultimately impacts not only their own lives, but also the society in which they live. If you desire to attain happiness, you must understand that the journey begins with you. It is only then that you can reach out and touch the lives of others and change society. In this anthology, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, with characteristic wisdom, humor, and kindness, directs readers toward a happy, healthy, and peaceful life. Talking about universal themes such as compassion, peace, non-violence, secularism, and the pursuit of a healthy mind and body, he reminds us that the responsibility to change our thoughts, actions, and lives lies within our power. This is a book for fans of His Holiness, for spiritual seekers, and for those interested in the spiritual and emotional health of individuals and societies.

Book excerpt: Now a Wall Street Journal bestseller. Learn a new talent, stay relevant, reinvent yourself, and adapt to whatever the workplace throws your way. Ultralearning offers nine principles to master hard skills quickly. This is the essential guide to future-proof your career and maximize your competitive advantage through self-education. In these tumultuous times of economic and technological change, staying ahead depends on continual self-education—a lifelong mastery of fresh ideas, subjects, and skills. If you want to accomplish more and stand apart from everyone else, you need to become an ultralearner. The challenge of learning new skills is that you think you already know how best to learn, as you did as a student, so you rerun old routines and old ways of solving problems. To counter that, Ultralearning offers powerful strategies to break you out of those mental ruts and introduces new training methods to help you push through to higher levels of retention. Scott H. Young incorporates the latest research about the most effective learning methods and the stories of other ultralearners like himself—among them Benjamin Franklin, chess grandmaster Judit Polgár, and Nobel laureate physicist Richard Feynman, as well as a host of others, such as little-known modern polymath Nigel Richards, who won the French World Scrabble Championship—without knowing French. Young documents the methods he and others have used to acquire knowledge and shows that, far from being an obscure skill limited to aggressive autodidacts, ultralearning is a powerful tool anyone can use to improve their career, studies, and life. Ultralearning explores this fascinating subculture, shares a proven framework for a successful ultralearning project, and offers insights into how you can organize and exe - cute a plan to learn anything deeply and quickly, without teachers or budget-busting tuition costs. Whether the goal is to be fluent in a language (or ten languages), earn the equivalent of a college degree in a fraction of the time, or master multiple tools to build a product or business from the ground up, the principles in Ultralearning will guide you to success.
