A practical, yet inspirational work that proposes it’s the inner world of our psyches that determines happiness, not outside forces. We have control over our own happiness and this powerful book offers concrete advice on how to tap into it and nourish it all year round. The author focuses explicitly on the positive ways we can establish a higher set-point in our thoughts, speech, and actions, resulting in greater sustainable levels of happiness. Regardless of what the year and your life may bring, we can become measurably and sustainably happier.
I've read several books on happiness, and this one is just delightful! Weaving personal stories, international culture, and do-able suggestions together, Will Bowen constructs an upbeat and engaging experience for the reader.
The thing I like best about "Happy This Year" is that the approach is so practical. The book presents down-to-earth, effective ways to (well, let's face it) change one's thinking habits and belief in oneself. Because, basically, that's what it takes to feel lasting happiness.
I did most of the work Bowen suggests, and raised my happiness "set-point" to a level I never knew existed. Even though I recently encountered some difficult life challenges, I've realized that my happiness level returns to its new high set-point as long as I keep practicing what I learned from this book.
