About this ebook
“This is a book that leaves you wiser and better equipped to face the future.” —Daniel Nettle, Newcastle University, author of Happiness: The Science Behind Your Smile
Do you want to live a happier and more satisfying life? Does being happy seem like an elusive goal? Sadly, happiness doesn’t always come naturally, nor does our society make it easy to be happy. But, according to recent developments in psychology and science, the brain can be rewired to be more receptive to happiness. In Happy at Last, psychotherapist Richard O’Connor shows us how we can attain and maintain happiness—and that it doesn’t necessarily have to come at a high cost or in a big package. Filled with practical advice and exercises, Happy at Last is a step-by-step guide that will give you:
• The core skills that we need to feel fulfilled in today's world
• Strategies for increasing happiness
• Techniques for keeping sadness and stress at bay
This is not glib pop psychology but an accessible approach to the best that science has to offer. Richard O’Connor makes it possible to be, finally, happy at last.
