Book Description
When people find out she is a therapist, Niro Feliciano knows she isn't going anywhere anytime soon. At soccer games, at cocktail parties, in waiting rooms, people corner her and ask: Why am I so stressed? Is the way I feel normal? Why can't I just be happy? The truth is happiness is fleeting, and we are stressing ourselves out trying to achieve it. In This Book Won't Make You Happy, national media commentator and Psychology Today columnist Feliciano offers a path to something much more achievable and abundantly more satisfying: contentment. By incorporating eight simple postures rooted in cognitive behavioral science and mindfulness practices into our daily routines, we can move away from anxiety and toward balance and calm. Acceptance, gratitude, connection, a present-focused perspective, intentionality and priority, self-compassion, resilience, and faith: through these practices we will overcome obstacles that hold us back from living full, meaningful, contented lives. Anxiety, stress, and grief aren't going away anytime soon, and this book won't make you happy. But with wit and empathy, Feliciano leads you right past happy to calm. No matter how "happy" your life is--or isn't--you can reach a deeper, truer, and longer-lasting place of contentment.

Finding Happy & How to Feel Good about Yourself
Author: John Rumery
Publisher: John Rumery
ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 71
Book Description
Happiness is driven by the lens through which you view your world, which is driven by the way you feel, about yourself. This feeling is controlled by four levers. Your behaviours, your thoughts, belief and gratitude. My theory on happiness is that what we desire most is to feel good about ourselves, to be comfortable in our skin, and to be at peace with who we are. Because if the human condition is that feeling of “I’m not good enough”, “I’m not loveable”, or “there must be something wrong with me”, surely it must stand to be true that the thing we seek most is the opposite. My life is the journey, struggle and battle to feel good, about myself. And through that journey, I found happiness. And this essay is the roadmap I created for myself to achieve just that.
