Description
We all want to be happy. This goal drives everything that we do. Why, then, are so many of us so unhappy? It's not your fault. You have been told a lie: that achieving your own success will make you happy. This is "old happy," society's incorrect definition of happiness.
The truth is that happiness comes from helping other people to live happier lives. Accompanied by revelatory artwork that explains key concepts, New Happy takes you through the process of unwinding Old Happy, uncovering your own gifts, and using them to both improve your life and the world at the same time. If you have ever asked yourself, "Who am I really?" "When will I be happy?" or "What am I supposed to do with my life?" this book is for you.
Through an inspiring blend of art and science, New Happy will forever change the way that you see yourself and the world. Whether you're wondering what career you should choose, navigating a life transition, going through a difficult time, teaching your kids what matters most, or simply hoping to experience more joy every day, New Happy offers the proven path to a happier life and a better world.
