Discover 4 simple steps to live a resilient, joy-filled life

The Second Step: Cultivate Emotional Resilience
The Third Step: Start a Mind-Body Practice
The Fourth Step: Pick Healthy Habits
But how do we actually implement these steps in our daily lives?
After decades of studying and working with tens of thousands of patients, Amit Sood, M.D., a Mayo Clinic specialist in stress and resiliency, has found a potent and practical approach to well-being that is well-suited to 21st-century living. Based on Dr. Sood’s popular, clinically proven stress management program, The Mayo Clinic Handbook for Happiness offers a straightforward plan anyone can implement across 10 weeks. Combining groundbreaking insights from neuroscience and psychology, and wisdom from philosophy and spirituality, Dr. Sood reveals how to reduce everyday anxiety and find greater fulfillment in life.
As Dr. Sood describes, happiness is a habit. For some of us, that habit comes naturally; for others, it must be learned. By following simple self-assessments and exercises such as “Wake Up With Gratitude,” “Find Uniqueness Within the Ordinary,” “Use One Sensory System at a Time,” and many others, you will learn real-world practices that can help you choose peace, contentment, and happiness.
