A NEXT BIG IDEA CLUB MUST-READ
Well-being expert and social media sensation Stephanie Harrison of @newhappyco reveals the counterintuitive secrets to happiness and provides a practical guide to help us all learn how to live a happy life.
We all want to be happy, but happiness always seems to be out of reach -- until now. In New Happy , happiness expert Stephanie Harrison draws upon hundreds of studies to offer a life-changing guide to finding the happiness you have been looking for, all based on a decade of research and brought to life with beautiful artwork.
It's not your fault if you are unhappy. You have been told three lies: you're not good enough; you need to achieve fame, wealth, and power; and you need to do it all on your own. This is Old Happy, our society's false definition of happiness, and it's making us miserable. In this book, you'll learn the truth: you are enough, you have unique and important gifts, and using them to help other people leads to your happiness.
New Happy is your step-by-step guide to building the life you want. Accompanied by revelatory artwork that explains key concepts, Harrison takes you through the process of unwinding Old Happy, uncovering your own gifts, and using them to both improve your life and the world at the same time. If you have ever asked yourself, "Who am I really?" "When will I be happy?" or "What am I supposed to do with my life?" this book is for you.
Through an inspiring blend of art and science, New Happy will forever change the way that you see yourself and the world. Whether you're wondering what career you should choose, navigating a life transition, going through a difficult time, teaching your kids what matters most, or simply hoping to experience more joy every day, New Happy offers the proven path to a happier life and a better world.
"We all want to be happy. This goal drives everything that we do. Why, then, are so many of us so unhappy? It's not your fault. You have been told a lie: that achieving your own success will make you happy. This is "old happy," society's incorrect definition of happiness. The truth is that happiness comes from helping other people to live happier lives. In New Happy, happiness expert and wildly popular Instagram artist Stephanie Harrison shares her groundbreaking new philosophy of happiness. With illuminating artwork, inspiring stories, and ten years' worth of research, this eye-opening guide will help you find your authentic self and use it to help others-this is the proven path to happiness. New Happy offers a step-by-step guide to finding true, lasting happiness. If you have ever asked yourself, "Who am I really?" "Why aren't I happy yet?" or "What am I supposed to do with my life?" this book is for you. Stop looking for happiness in all the wrong places and start experiencing it-today"-- Provided by publisher.
