An INTRODUCING PRACTICAL GUIDE to happiness

By looking at the history of thought, this Practical Guide will help you to do things to improve your well-being; to free yourself from the various disturbances of life; to overcome irrational expectations that cause us distress and to understand the causes of suffering. Full of straightforward advice and examples and written by an expert on the subject, this book will help you understand what constitutes happiness, and how to make positive changes to become happier in your own life. This Practical Guide explores how we can all have a "life of enjoyment", in which we savour the positive emotions that are part of healthy living; a "life of engagement" where we feel confident we can tackle the tasks we face; and a 'life of affiliation', being part of something larger than ourselves.
