| How We Choose to Be Happy: The 9 Choices of Extremely Happy People--Their Secrets, Their Stories by Perigee Trade Brilliant. Insightful. Enjoyable. I HAD to buy it. It's under my skin. | I borrowed this, read it end-to-end, and had to buy it. There aren't many books I want to read again, or keep as a reference to use over and over. But this is one. I've read hundreds of non-fiction books and there are only about 20 books I can say have given me something that I will carry with me.
On a superficial level, just reading this book makes me feel good. I know it wasn't meant to be like that... but I feel sunny just hearing the stories--they're Good People, these Happy people. And stranger still, I've been lazy, and just read it, not 'worked it', or 'studied it', but nonetheless, there's been a shift. I've absorbed something. It's got to me. Dammit! This book makes ... Sense. Why, Why, didn't I know this all along?
It's under my skin and I'm better off than I was before I came across it. Do yourself a favour. Buy it, then buy one for your boss.
| | How We Choose to Be Happy: The 9 Choices of Extremely Happy People--Their Secrets, Their Stories by Perigee Trade Sharing Nine Secrets to Ensuring a Happy Life | HOW WE CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY dispels the myth that we have emotional set points and are stuck with whatever level of satisfaction we normally feel, in lives primarily influenced by luck of the draw.
Authors Foster and Hicks traveled the world to interview the happiest people referred to them in each town they visited, discovering that the happiest people in the world have made nine life choices in common. Significantly, it became clear that when these nine principles are adopted, they radically improve peoples' happiness in life regardless of what is going on around them.
The realizations in HOW WE CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY are so clearly stated with abundant examples of people who are merely cheerful, or in denial, rather than genuninely happy that their nine principles become more clearly outlined.
The big idea here is that happiness is a choice, or more precisely a series of choices, and when we choose to move our lives toward happiness by making changes to ourselves from the inside out, we can experience tremendous improvements in feelings of increased inner joy, peace and health.
Our health and wellbeing lies in our happiness... and when we realize that our happiness is a new way of life, this book becomes a much-needed guide to finding out just how good life can be. I give this book my highest recommendation. | | How We Choose to Be Happy: The 9 Choices of Extremely Happy People--Their Secrets, Their Stories by Perigee Trade best book read in years | | please read this book and do the exercies! it will help you and make our world a better place for everyone to live in. thank you. | | How We Choose to Be Happy: The 9 Choices of Extremely Happy People--Their Secrets, Their Stories by Perigee Trade Reality | | Not some made up set of rules. The research in this book is thoughtful and can be applied. Easily. | | How We Choose to Be Happy: The 9 Choices of Extremely Happy People--Their Secrets, Their Stories by Perigee Trade Worse than useless. | | This half-truth of a book is fundamentally flawed -- and its flaws are such that they exacerbate the difficulties and problems that people who are attempting to deal with unhappiness and become more happy must deal with. Its formula, simply put, does not work. What's worse is that when the authors' suppositions about how to make oneself happy fail, their recourse is to blame the victim ... an activity that serves only to make bad situations worse for the people who would be most inclined to look to this book for assistance. In short, this book is worse than useless. It fails in its stated goals and, in failing, inflicts more harm than good to those it purports to help. | | How We Choose to Be Happy: The 9 Choices of Extremely Happy People--Their Secrets, Their Stories by Perigee Trade Book Description | Now featuring new research and the most current information on the science of happiness, this book presents an outline of the nine choices happy people consistently make.
Also included are tools for self-assessment to allow readers to measure happiness-and to find out what might be holding them back from having more of it. Insightful, intimate, and inspiring, How We Choose to Be Happy lets readers learn by example, and take substantial steps toward joining the ranks of the extremely happy. |
