HAPPIER: Controlling Happiness and Joy
Controlling Happiness and Joy
Imagine having a remote control to turn on happiness and joy at will. For the most part, everyone wants to be happy and enjoy life. However, many believe that happiness and joy come only from grandiose accomplishments and super lucky events outside of our control. Wouldn't it be nice to learn that happiness and joy are skills that we can develop regardless of external circumstances? Wouldn't it be fascinating to learn how to turn happiness and joy at will, controlling the feelings and emotions every day. That's the simple promise of this book.
In HAPPIER, discover the neuroscience behind the notion that we can control our happiness and joy as if having a simple hand-held remote control built into the brain. One button, we call it the G button for Gratitude, powers up our internal happiness system, shifting us out of fear and reactivity and into clarity, motivation, and connection. Above it are three “joy channels” we can switch between at any
• the dopamine-driven joy of progress, purpose, and healthy striving.
• the restorative joy of rest, calm, and emotional balance.
• the oxytocin-rich joy of relationships, belonging, and giving.
Backed by modern neuroscience and written in a warm, accessible style, this book explains why each setting is essential, how to know which one you need, and how to activate it with practical habits you can use immediately.
Learn how
• Turn on happiness and joy at will using the power of gratitude
• Break fear loops and emotional shutdown through simple brain-based tools
• Build resilience using micro-wins, mindful rest, and acts of kindness
• Reset your emotional circuitry when life becomes overwhelming
• Design daily rituals that train your brain for sustainable well-being
• Stop waiting to feel happy—and start controlling the system designed to help you thrive
We all experience moments when the “signal” goes out—when stress spikes, when setbacks hit, when joy shuts off. This is not failure. It is the brain protecting us. The difference now is that we finally understand how to turn happiness back on.
HAPPIER blends science, psychology, and everyday wisdom into a practical guide for anyone who wants emotional agency, resilience, and a richer life. With the HAPPIER remote in hand, joy becomes something we can cultivate, shape, and renew—every day.
If you’re ready to take control of your happiness, this book gives you the map, the tools, and the remote.
