Positively Happy: Routes to Sustainable Happiness (The Positive Psychology Workbook Series)

In a recent study of more than 10 thousand people from dozens of countries researchers discovered that happiness was prized over other highly desirable goals such as “falling in love” and “getting into Heaven.” In this book experts Jaime Kurtz and best-selling author Sonja Lyubomirsky provide a crash course in increasing personal happiness. The offer a variety of happiness self-tests specific tools for boosting happiness and a research based argument that pursuing happiness is beneficial. This is not empty-headed “happiology” though; the authors wisely counsel against a one-size-fits-all approach to intervention and help you individualize your own pursuit of happiness. Positively Happy is one title in the Positive Psychology Workbooks series. These workbooks introduce readers to a variety of solid science and useful tools for improving life relationships and overall mental health. Each workbook contains practical suggestions and offers readers opportunities to reflect and experiment with real world tools. A noted expert in his or her respective field writes each book in this series.
