Publisher Description
Happiness isn't the too-brief rush that comes from getting something you've wanted—it's the lasting great feeling that comes from becoming someone you want to be…..
And someone others want to be with, too. No matter where you start, Happy can help you improve your life and permanently alter your happiness set point.
Dr. Ian has inspired millions to lose weight. In counseling dieters, Smith learned that while achieving hard-fought and worthy goals can help make a person happy, even these real accomplishments aren't what make happiness stick.
In Happy, Ian Smith presents a program that motivates readers to understand the behaviors and mind-sets that work and last, including:
--How to be optimistic
--Why optimism and realism are not opposites
--How to get outside yourself
--The importance of family and community
--Why involvement leads to contentment
--Shedding the treadmill mentality of getting and spending
--Tapping the power of simple pleasures
--Mastering modern life to live in the moment
--What we can learn from the Danish people
--How to be, not just to do
Happy is a life-changing book from one of America's most trusted voices.

Great little book!
I would to start off by saying that iam not a hardcore reader by any means. In fact it took me 8 months to read this book. But i must say, this is a great book. Its simple, not too long, and is interactive. The author writes about some of his personal experiences which create significant rapport with the reader(s). There are sections you can fill out as you read. I personally liked many sections from this book, and thanks to my ipad, i was able to high-light them, and go back to them to make my day better! Anway, i highly recommend this book.
