You can be happy: the scientifically proven way to change how you feel

by Daniel Freeman, Jason Freeman

Do you feel that there’s room for a bit more happiness in your life?
A lot more even? Then here’s the good you have much more control over your happiness than you probably think. And in this book, you’ll discover the often simple, but easily overlooked, steps you can take to reclaim more of those good feelings.
What’s more, every single suggested action in this book has been scientifically proven to have a positive and lasting effect on happiness. There’s no hype here, just plenty of real hope. Better still, there’s no need for radical life change and no complicated programme to follow. Instead you’ll find a raft of small and simple steps that will, over time, add up to a life with more pleasure and meaning - and with fewer negative emotions dragging you down.
Nobody else can make you happy. But you can. Here’s all the help you need. Daniel Freeman is Professor of Clinical Psychology at Oxford University.

Ik had dit boek gevonden in een kringloop en ik werd verrast van hoe behulpzaam ik dit boek zou vinden. Het is geschreven aan de hand van wetenschappelijke onderzoeken, waardoor je weet dat de tips daadwerkelijk effect hebben. Verder is het geschreven als een behulpzame stappenlijst van dingen die je kan toevoegen aan je leven om gelukkiger te worden. Natuurlijk hoef je niet alles toe te voegen, maar hoe meer hoe beter.

I liked the book but there are some notes about it firstly the good thing is that it contains a lot of positive things ,and it gave me a positive energy. On the other side,It contains some details about doing Yoga which make it boring for me .

[Ragad Sadaqa · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have read many self-help books and I often get overwhelmed by their length and long paragraphs. This book is organized and practical (not too long either!) I very readily recommend it to all my family members and friends.
