Book Description
Whoever said happiness was a pursuit wasn't kidding. We search high and low, spend money we may or may not have, engage in all kinds of behaviors for good and ill, and still come up short in the happiness department. Happiness becomes a destination we're supposed to teach, but we never seem to get there. If happiness is a destination, who has the directions? In Happy for the Rest of Your Life, Dr. Gregory Jantz will use scriptural truths and personal examples to teach, enlighten, encourage, and motivate as he explains: * Our misconceptions about what happiness is and where to find it * Dead ends on the road to happiness * Why God is really the author of "Don't Worry, Be Happy"

Author: Ahron Friedberg
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000624188
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
Drawing on a range of clinical cases, Towards Happiness presents an engaging, insightful look at how we define and achieve happiness in core aspects of our lives: work and money, wellness and personal growth, sex and love, family and friendship, and aging. The book includes a series of essays by Dr. Ahron Friedberg, a prominent Manhattan psychiatrist, concerning how his patients sought to achieve greater happiness during challenging periods of their lives, and how as a consequence they grew personally and professionally. Each chapter considers a core topic through the lens of Dr. Friedberg’s practice, demonstrating how patients worked through difficult, sometimes chronic personal issues. Throughout, there are useful summaries of key points. While candidly acknowledging that each life is different, Towards Happiness offers practical examples that can enhance readers’ efforts to achieve greater levels of happiness and reorient their lives towards a deeper capacity for happiness. Towards Happiness offers honest insights into the compromises, sacrifices, and resulting degrees of success that characterize pursuing happiness, and will be of great interest to psychoanalysts, clinical psychologists, and other mental health professionals. It will also be useful reading for anyone seeking to understand the achievement of happiness in their own lives.

The Psychology of Happiness
Author: Michael Argyle
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317797876
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
What is happiness? Why are some people happier than others? This new edition of The Psychology of Happiness provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of research into the nature of happiness. Major research developments have occurred since publication of the first edition in 1987 – here they are brought together for the first time, often with surprising conclusions. Drawing on research from the disciplines of sociology, physiology and economics as well as psychology, Michael Argyle explores the nature of positive and negative emotions, and the psychological and cognitive processes involved in their generation. Accessible and wide-ranging coverage is provided on key issues such as: the measurements and study of happiness, mental and physical health; the effect of friendship, marriage and other relationships on positive moods; happiness, mental and physical health; the effects of work, employment and leisure; and the effects of money, class and education. The importance of individual personality traits such as optimism, purpose in life, internal control and having the right kind of goals is also analysed. New to this edition is additional material on national differences, the role of humour, and the effect of religion. Are some countries happier than others? This is just one of the controversial issues addressed by the author along the way. Finally the book discusses the practical application of research in this area, such as how happiness can be enhanced, and the effects of happiness on health, altruism and sociability. This definitive and thought-provoking work will be compulsive reading for students, researchers and the interested general reader

Happiness Lies in Positive Living
Author: BALDEV BHATIA
Publisher: BookRix
ISBN: 3739654678
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
ABOUT THE BOOK INTRODUCTION Happiness Lies in Positive Living. Be Positive Think Positive Live Positive What do we think about Positivity? The feeling of positivity is within us. It is said that positive living is purely an internal matter. It has nothing to do with our external circumstances. There is something positive within us who keep us happy and there is something negative within us which keep you unhappy. Happy living through positivity is nothing more than that of living a normal life free from undue pressures, problems and tensions. If we want to live a happy life then we need to get rid of the negativity within us which makes us unhappy. Negative approach always complicates the problems and increases unhappiness? Most of us do the fatal mistake of looking outwards for happiness rather than looking inwards. Be positive, be strong, be bold and be courageous every day. Even if we are having a bad day, think of some good things that may come our way, either later that day, tomorrow, next week, month, or year. When everything seems to be beyond our control, it's almost too easy for us to slip into the grasp of negativity. To avoid negativity we must strive to abolish this sort of thinking through the power of thinking positively. The Art of Positive Living is not a complicated kind of art difficult to learn rather a simple art of positive thinking, living well, eating well, thinking well and feeling well. What we need to do is just to tune up our mind to enjoy every moment of life and let the positive happiness follow us. This is something that needs to be looked into thoroughly. We need to focus on the positive aspects lives, rather than on the negative setbacks. We must remember that positive living is the reward of positive thinking. We ought to remember, only the positive thinking can bring happiness in our lives.

Author: Jeanne Adams
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1490857788
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
Our society bombards us with negativity, a lack of respect, and fear. We are losing our ability to find the good in others or in situations. We are unintentionally blind to natural beauty, and we lack the motivation to make positive changes. Happiness: Hidden in Plain Sight (A Response from Within) is the average person's guide to everyday psychological insights with an emphasis, not on analyzing why we are living by rote, but on how to make things much better! Realizing that happiness comes from within, not from others or possessions, is critical to a successful search for happiness. It is not something to be won or earned, but God's gift to be discovered. For a change, there now is a book that is actually practical; a book that not only discusses twenty of the most important therapeutic guidelines for a happier life, but also suggests hundreds of positive ideas. These ideas are designed to remind and motivate the reader to seek out the good things in life that are hidden in plain sight. As a professional therapist, and after meeting thousands of unhappy people, Jeanne has found that by taking specific positive actions and developing mindfulness, a person can immediately begin to experience a more peaceful and happy today.
