Happier: Learn the Secrets to Daily Joy and Lasting Fulfillment

From: $9.49

Can You Learn to Be Happy?

YES . . . according to the teacher of Harvard University’s most popular and life-changing course. One out of every five Harvard students has lined up to hear Tal Ben-Shahar’s insightful and inspiring lectures on that ever-elusive state: HAPPINESS.

HOW?
Grounded in the revolutionary “positive psychology” movement, Ben-Shahar ingeniously combines scientific studies, scholarly research, self-help advice, and spiritual enlightenment. He weaves them together into a set of principles that you can apply to your daily life. Once you open your heart and mind to Happier ’s thoughts, you will feel more fulfilled, more connected . . . and, yes, HAPPIER.

“Dr. Ben-Shahar, one of the most popular teachers in Harvard’s recent history, has written a personal, informed, and highly enjoyable primer on how to become happier. It would be wise to take his advice.”
--Ellen J. Langer, author of Mindfulness and On Becoming an Artist

“This fine book shimmers with a rare brand of good sense that is imbedded in scientific knowledge about how to increase happiness. It is easy to see how this is the backbone of the most popular course at Harvard today."
--Martin E. P. Seligman, author of Authentic Happiness

I first heard Tal Ben-Shahar on NPR's Diane Rehm Show. I was immediately captivated by the simplicity and depth of his angle on happiness. After hearing the show I went to the author's website and read his papers which are selectively listed...

This may sound overly simplistic, but the one important reminder I got from this book is that in our busy work-to-achieve-profits world we often forgot how to take a more active role in pursuing what the author calls the "ultimate currency."

This is an excellent book. And I very much agree with the reviewer that mentioned teaching these life skills in childhood.
