Happiness: Get It, Keep It, Oh…And Enjoy It!

By Dr. Louise Lambert

So much advice, so many opinions, but how do you know whom to trust to become lastingly happier? Science. This easy-to-understand, practical workbook is designed for you, the serious happiness achiever who wants to learn what science has to say about the means to achieve greater happiness. It contains clear actionable strategies to boost your happiness as a lifestyle and keep it there over time. Strategies include the well-known gratitude letter and savouring, as well as lesser known strategies like satisficing, dealing with psychological adaptation, self-compassion, capitalization, giving, and taking a social media retreat. More importantly, this book explains why these work and how you can adapt them to suit you best. Each strategy is simple, to the point, and can be done right in this book. All are referenced straight from the research literature, so you can be sure you are getting the best from the science of happiness and successfully achieve a better version of you!
