Happier No Matter What: Cultivating Hope, Resilience, and Purpose in Hard Times

Description: Happier No Matter What by Tal Ben-Shahar The five-part program for staying positive in hard times FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description When something good happens to us, were really happy, and when something bad happens were really unhappy. But what impact does the good or bad event have on our happiness a month later? Research shows: absolutely none. Thats because happiness isnt dependent on the present moment - we all have ups and we all have downs - rather, its the baseline hovering between the highs and lows, which is ever-changing. In Happier No Matter What, positive psychologist Tal Ben-Shahar argues that we can improve our baseline happiness, and better equip ourselves to cope with extremes.Happier No Matter What is at once a diagnostic tool, helping readers to identify the fundamental elements of happiness in their own lives, as well as a prescription, providing evidence-based methods for seeking out and making the most of those crucial components. As Ben-Shahar reveals here, our happiness is a matter of five essential components: Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Relational, and Emotional (SPIRE) well-being. Ben-Shahar tackles the issue of modern happiness from every angle, arming us with strategies to manage our emotions, care for our bodies, nurture our relationships, stay intellectually curious, and live mindfully - even when it feels like everything has gone wrong.As it turns out, waking up every day and thinking "I want to be happy" has been shown to decrease happiness levels. Instead, what really works is setting tangible goals that are proven to lead to that elusive feeling of joy. No matter how uncertain life gets, Happier No Matter What will help us find stable ground.
