NEW HAPPY Getting Happiness Right in a World That's Got It Wrong

A happiness expert begins this thoughtful guide by explaining how a tragedy in her life provoked her inquiry into genuine happiness. The poignancy of her personal story connects Harrison with her listeners, as do her quiet sincerity and well-organized message. Her voice is pitched high, but the wisdom of her diligent research is what dominates as the audio unfolds. She says the old model of happiness too often involves goals imposed by others, a focus on outcomes instead of process, and finding ways to compensate for a feeling of low self-worth. Lasting happiness is achieved when people understand and accept themselves, engage in things that they enjoy and value, and improve the collective happiness of others as well as their own.
