Happiness Habits: Five Things You Can Do in Your Everyday Life to Build Lasting Happiness

By Michael Rauscher

We live in a world where maintaining happiness is a tricky process. As a result, we find ourselves working more and more, putting off time for ourselves. The result of this is less happiness overall. How can we bring some of that color and joy back into our lives?

According to personal growth writer Michael Rauscher, the answer lies in habits. In his Scribd Coach audio course, Happiness Habits, Rauscher explains how you can access the power of your habits to find greater happiness — specifically, the so-called Happiness Habits, four habits you can adopt to achieve your goals with greater ease and build lasting happiness. In the course, Rauscher explains how to clearly understand what you want out of life, how to maximize your productivity, how to get the most of your energy resources on a daily basis, and the importance of well-being. He also shares exercises to help you put what you’ve learned into practice right away.

Introduction

Hello, and welcome to the course from Scribd Coach Happiness Habits: Five Things You Can Do in Your Everyday Life to Build Lasting Happiness. I’m Michael Rauscher, and, in this course, I’ll be talking to you about five habits you can build to help achieve your full happiness potential.

I’ve done all the exercises - I asked myself questions about why I wanted to reach these goals, I visualized, and I had all the steps written out.

But at the end of that year, I still felt terrible. I’ve come back to the list of my goals to check on my progress before the year
