Happiness Rules: Beat Burnout, Embrace Happiness, and Become a Better Entrepreneur

by Manuel Astruc

Success is the measure by which most entrepreneurs judge themselves. But success doesn’t guarantee happiness—especially if it leads to burnout.

Successful entrepreneurs aren’t exempt from burnout but are candidates for it. The high demand of running a thriving business can push even the most passionate person into a state of exhaustion and dissatisfaction. Unaddressed, burnout can have profound effects on your personal and professional life.

The happiness rules are Dr. Manuel Astruc’s solution. In Happiness Rules, he offers practices developed using his knowledge of the mind and our motivations as humans—all gathered from his decades of work as a psychiatrist. And these rules aren’t hypothetical; Manuel has used them himself to escape from the deepest reaches of burnout.

Happiness Rules teaches readers how to make happiness the engine to success—rather than the outcome—leading to more personal fulfillment as well as being more productive, energetic, and engaged at home and at work.

This is a very important and timely book. Many entrepreneurs today are burning out, struggling to focus on their health while constantly comparing themselves to the competition and chasing shiny new ideas.

Manuel understands this challenge deeply and offers unique, practical solutions that truly help. I highly recommend this book, and speaking to him, for any entrepreneur feeling overwhelmed or on the edge of burnout.
