There Is No App for Happiness: Finding Joy and Meaning in the Digital Age with Mindfulness, Breathwork, and Yoga
The revolutionary book on discovering your happiest self—now in paperback.
Technology has expanded at such a rate that nearly every aspect of our world has been affected—yet there has been no corresponding expansion of personal happiness. Instead, we find that the wealthiest societies of the world have become depressed, anxious, sleep deprived, and overmedicated.
Max Strom, author of A Life Worth Breathing and global teacher of personal transformation, reveals that we each have internal, human technology capable of empowering our lives and leading us to deeper levels of happiness. In his new book, There Is No App for Happiness , Strom illustrates three imperatives to take back control of our lives.
Imperative Self-study. Overcoming our negative presets.
Imperative Live as if your time and your lifespan were the same thing.
Imperative Learn a daily regimen that heals and empowers you, and practice it one hour a day.
Learn that joy and fulfillment require us to be active participants and that we should not strive for a virtual life—but a life truly lived. There Is No App for Happiness will propel you into a new and more meaningful experience of living.

Not bad and some useful exercises which are also useful for coaching others. His other book, A Life Worth Breathing, was far more interesting.

I feel ~inspired~! You can always pull some inspo/motivation from books like this, even if you don’t align 100% with the author’s every perspective. This one was also a little outdated on the topic of technology but overall it was a good read. Self improvement is kewl :) 4/5 stars, August 8, 2022.

The author gives many examples of habits the reader can build to live a more authentic and peaceful life. Reading this book put it into perspective how I can better allocate my time and invest it into things and people that truly matter to me.
