Sample Book Insights:
#1 Happiness is not just the feeling of being content, but the effects it has on you. It makes you enjoy life more, and it actually affects how successful you are in both your personal life and your professional life.
#2 The best way to become happier is to understand that 50 percent of your happiness is genetically determined, and so cannot be altered. The remaining 40 percent is derived from your day-to-day behavior and the way you think about yourself and others.
#3 The road to happiness depends on people’s ability to push negative thoughts out of their mind, but research shows that this may be more likely to increase rather than decrease misery. You can distract yourself by spending time with your family, going to a party, getting more involved in your work, or taking up a new hobby.
#4 The a problem shared is a problem halved approach is to vent your feelings and release negative emotions, but that doesn’t always help. Instead, you can try expressive writing, which has been shown to help with psychological and physical well-being.
