How to be happy

How is it reasonable to be happy when everything in your life is going in the wrong direction? Imagine that your house has been destroyed by an earthquake, or that you have suffered serious injuries due to a car accident that caused you to lose the ability to use both of your legs. When asked about the impact of such an event on your life, most people might talk about how frustrating it would be, and some might wish they were dead rather than live without being able to walk again. But what researchers have found is that when people are exposed to a traumatic event like experiencing an earthquake or becoming paralyzed, their happiness level a year or months after the incident will be the same as their happiness level the day before the incident. Therefore, this book will guide you to techniques that push you to discover yourself, find the true happiness within you, face your fears, and develop appropriate solutions to problems you may encounter, without those problems having a real impact on you, as they are just temporary issues that happen from time to time.
