Book excerpt: With New York Times bestselling author, Dr. Hanson's four steps, you can counterbalance your brain's negativity bias and learn to hardwire happiness in only a few minutes each day. Why is it easier to ruminate over hurt feelings than it is to bask in the warmth of being appreciated? Because your brain evolved to learn quickly from bad experiences and slowly from good ones, but you can change this. Life isn’t easy, and having a brain wired to take in the bad and ignore the good makes us worried, irritated, and stressed, instead of confident, secure, and happy. But each day is filled with opportunities to build inner strengths and Dr. Rick Hanson, an acclaimed clinical psychologist, shows what you can do to override the brain’s default pessimism. Hardwiring Happiness lays out a simple method that uses the hidden power of everyday experiences to build new neural structures full of happiness, love, confidence, and peace. You’ll learn to see through the lies your brain tells you. Dr. Hanson’s four steps build strengths into your brain to make contentment and a powerful sense of resilience the new normal. In just minutes a day, you can transform your brain into a refuge and power center of calm and happiness.

However, she urges her readers to understand the simple fact that no one has the right to control one's happiness but themselves. She confirms that to each person, happiness means a different thing and therefore, happiness cannot be generalized. Through her eBook "Happiness: 10 sure fire ways to happiness" Lise Gottlieb tries to explain to her readers that factors like one's salary or place of residence has little to do with real happiness. The book aims at answering basic questions that the average human being asks himself pertaining to happiness and how it can be answered. The points mentioned in the book are ones that one goes through every day of his life but is too occupied with other aspects to clearly understand it. Happiness is not age specific and therefore, whilst a professional executive maybe facing issues, a high school student may be suffering from negativity as well and therefore, the 12 detailed chapters of Happiness: 10 sure fire ways to happiness can help bring about a visible change in a person's outlook towards life, making them happier.

Authentic Happiness provides a variety of tests and unique assessment tools to enable readers to discover and deploy those strengths at work, in love and in raising children. By accessing the very best in ourselves, we can improve the world around us and achieve new and lasting levels of authentic contentment and joy.
Download or read book Solve for Happy written by Mo Gawdat and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-03-21 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this “powerful personal story woven with a rich analysis of what we all seek” (Sergey Brin, cofounder of Google), Mo Gawdat, Chief Business Officer at Google’s [X], applies his superior logic and problem solving skills to understand how the brain processes joy and sadness—and then he solves for happy. In 2001 Mo Gawdat realized that despite his incredible success, he was desperately unhappy. A lifelong learner, he attacked the problem as an engineer would: examining all the provable facts and scrupulously applying logic. Eventually, his countless hours of research and science proved successful, and he discovered the equation for permanent happiness. Thirteen years later, Mo’s algorithm would be put to the ultimate test. After the sudden death of his son, Ali, Mo and his family turned to his equation—and it saved them from despair. In dealing with the horrible loss, Mo found his mission: he would pull off the type of “moonshot” goal that he and his colleagues were always aiming for—he would share his equation with the world and help as many people as possible become happier. In Solve for Happy Mo questions some of the most fundamental aspects of our existence, shares the underlying reasons for suffering, and plots out a step-by-step process for achieving lifelong happiness and enduring contentment. He shows us how to view life through a clear lens, teaching us how to dispel the illusions that cloud our thinking; overcome the brain’s blind spots; and embrace five ultimate truths. No matter what obstacles we face, what burdens we bear, what trials we’ve experienced, we can all be content with our present situation and optimistic about the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do we wish most for our children? Next to being healthy, we want them to be happy, of course! Fortunately, a wide array of scientific studies show that happiness is a learned behavior, a muscle we can help our children build and maintain. Drawing on what psychology, sociology, and neuroscience have proven about confidence, gratefulness, and optimism, and using her own chaotic and often hilarious real-world adventures as a mom to demonstrate do’s and don’ts in action, Christine Carter, Ph.D, executive director of UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center, boils the process down to 10 simple happiness-inducing steps. With great wit, wisdom, and compassion, Carter covers the day-to-day pressure points of parenting—how best to discipline, get kids to school and activities on time, and get dinner on the table—as well as the more elusive issues of helping children build healthy friendships and develop emotional intelligence. In these 10 key steps, she helps you interact confidently and consistently with your kids to foster the skills, habits, and mindsets that will set the stage for positive emotions now and into their adolescence and beyond. Inside you will discover • the best way avoid raising a brat—changing bad habits into good ones • tips on how to change your kids’ attitude into gratitude • the trap of trying to be perfect—and how to stay clear of its pitfalls • the right way to praise kids—and why too much of the wrong kind can be just as bad as not enough • the spirit of kindness—how to raise kind, compassionate, and loving children • strategies for inspiring kids to do boring (but necessary) tasks—and become more self-motivated in the process Complete with a series of “try this” tips, secrets, and strategies, Raising Happiness is a one-of-a-kind resource that will help you instill joy in your kids—and, in the process, become more joyful yourself.

Download or read book In Pursuit of Happiness 10 Key Things to Do to Be Happy written by Amanda Fireball and published by Online Trendy Store. This book was released on with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuit of Happiness Book Series As someone who has experienced both the highs and lows of life, I can confidently say that happiness is not a destination. It's a journey that requires a deliberate effort to cultivate positive habits and mindsets. And that's precisely what the book "In Pursuit of Happiness: 10 Key Things to Do to Be Happy" is all about. This book is a comprehensive guide to finding happiness in life. It covers ten key areas that contribute to a happy life, including gratitude, positive relationships, purpose and meaning, physical health, joy and fulfillment, mindfulness and meditation, learning and growth, giving back, managing stress and negative emotions, and self-compassion and acceptance. Rather than providing a one-size-fits-all approach to happiness, the book delves deep into the complexity of human experience and offers practical insights and strategies for readers to customize to their unique needs and preferences. For example, in the chapter on gratitude, the book acknowledges that it's not always easy to feel grateful when life throws us curveballs. It provides a nuanced understanding of the science behind gratitude and offers several exercises that readers can use to cultivate a sense of gratitude even in challenging times. From keeping a gratitude journal to expressing gratitude to others, the book provides a range of options for readers to experiment with and discover what works best for them. Similarly, in the chapter on positive relationships, the book recognizes that not all relationships are created equal. It discusses the importance of building strong, healthy relationships with people who uplift and support us, while also acknowledging the reality that not everyone in our lives will fit these criteria. It also provides strategies for navigating difficult relationships and making the most of the relationships that do bring us joy and fulfillment. Throughout the book, you’ll learn the importance of taking a holistic approach to happiness. Also, you’ll find out that physical health, joy and fulfillment, learning and growth, and giving back are all interconnected and contribute to overall well-being. By addressing each of these areas in a comprehensive and integrated way, the book offers a roadmap to creating a happy and fulfilling life. What I want to underline in this book is that it's not a quick-fix solution to happiness. It's a deep dive into the science of happiness and personal growth that empowers readers to create lasting change in their lives. The book provides a wealth of practical advice, but it also acknowledges that happiness is a process that requires ongoing attention and effort. As someone who has personally benefitted from the insights and strategies presented in this book, I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to live a happier, more fulfilling life. Whether you're struggling with negative emotions, feeling stuck in your relationships or career, or simply looking to deepen your sense of purpose and meaning, "In Pursuit of Happiness: 10 Key Things to Do to Be Happy" offers practical tools and wisdom to guide you on your journey.
Download or read book Breath written by James Nestor and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-05-26 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Bestseller A Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of 2020 Named a Best Book of 2020 by NPR “A fascinating scientific, cultural, spiritual and evolutionary history of the way humans breathe—and how we’ve all been doing it wrong for a long, long time.” —Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Big Magic and Eat Pray Love No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you’re not breathing properly. There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat twenty-five thousand times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren’t found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe. Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance; rejuvenate internal organs; halt snoring, asthma, and autoimmune disease; and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is. Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. You will never breathe the same again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if you could change your life--without changing your life? Gretchen had a good marriage, two healthy daughters, and work she loved--but one day, stuck on a city bus, she realized that time was flashing by, and she wasn’t thinking enough about the things that really mattered. “I should have a happiness project,” she decided. She spent the next year test-driving the wisdom of the ages, current scientific studies, and lessons from popular culture about how to be happier. Each month, she pursued a different set of resolutions: go to sleep earlier, quit nagging, forget about results, or take time to be silly. Bit by bit, she began to appreciate and amplify the happiness that already existed in her life. Written with humour and insight, Gretchen’s story will inspire you to start your own happiness project. Now in a beautiful, expanded edition, Gretchen offers a wealth of new material including happiness paradoxes and practical tips on many daily matters: being a more light-hearted parent, sticking to a fitness routine, getting your sweetheart to do chores without nagging, coping when you forget someone’s name and more.

I have read a number of self-help/personal development books which are written as a guide to help you take the necessary steps to improve your life for the better.My main issue with many of these books is that the authors never really ever paint a true and realistic picture of their journey to where they are now. It's as if they believe that by blindsiding us as the reader, we won't ask questions. However, I much prefer to read from individuals who offer a first-hand perspective into the ups and downs of their journey. You don't want to be far removed from the subject at hand, and when the subject is a person; you want to get as much insight into their personal journey as possibly possible...That's the reasons why '10 Steps For Creating A Happy Life' is essential reading for anyone who needs clear and simple steps to help to begin implementing positive changes.
