Book Description
Is happiness really all in the mind? Why are some people always happy while others seem doomed to a life of misery? Is it love, money, looks or genes? Scientists have discovered that happiness isn't just a fleeting emotion or a quality that some fortunate people are born with. Happiness is a skill that can be cultivated, and the positive effects can be seen in our brains, bloodstreams and behaviour. Eight Steps to Happiness is a practical, scientific guide to becoming a happier person in just eight weeks. The exercises and activities in Eight Steps are simple but profoundly effective and scientifically proven. As the eight volunteers in the ABC TV series Making Australia Happy have shown, Eight Steps leads to measurable physiological changes, from improved immune function to better sleep and increased physical strength. The Eight Steps to Happiness program gives you no-nonsense tools to make real change in your life. Using these techniques, you too can be on the road to a happier, healthier and more fulfilled life. And be warned: happiness is contagious!

Book Description
8 Ways to Happiness is for anyone who has stopped to ask themselves, “Am I happy?” or “Why am I not happy?”, and is not willing to spend 10 years in therapy or take a pill with side effects that make them feel even worse than they do now. Furthermore, it is for those who ARE taking medication for their "Dis-Ease” with life and STILL not feeling better. The 8 chapters are focused on common places that human beings get stuck, such as Loneliness, Loss, Hatred, Shame, and Heartbreak, with relatable snapshots and exercises to build new roads into Hope, Love, Faith, and Happiness. Dr. Marissa Pei’s own pain from the past and fear of the future identify with readers and relay a message of hope. She provides those struggling to find happiness with alternative ways of seeing their own reality, as well as a chance to practice balance tools that shovel out the shii-take from their past and return it as fertilizer for new seeds of understanding about the unique, beautiful, wonderful, precious beings we all are.

Book Description
The New Meditation Handbook is a practical guide to meditation that teaches us how to make ourself and others happy by developing inner peace, and in this way making our lives more meaningful. Without inner peace there is no real happiness at all. Problems, suffering and unhappiness do not exist outside the mind; they are feelings and thus part of our mind. Therefore, it is only by controlling our mind that we can permanently stop our problems and make ourself and others truly happy. The twenty-one Buddhist meditation practices presented in this book are actual methods to control our mind and experience lasting inner peace. This extremely practical guide is an indispensable handbook for those seeking happiness and meaning in their lives.
