How to live a happy life--made so simple and doable that you believe
it's actually achievable.
Dr. Dan Baker, director of the Life Enhancement Program at Canyon Ranch,
has devoted his life to teaching people how to be happy. And apparently,
most of us could use a little tutoring. Research has shown that the root
of unhappiness--fear--lies in the oldest, reptilian part of our brains,
and negative reactions are often dictated by primal instincts. We're
literally "hardwired for hard times." In What Happy People Know, Dr.
Baker uses evidence from the new science of happiness to show us how we
can overcome this genetic predisposition toward negative reactions and
lead a truly rich, happy, and healthy life.
In this book, Dr. Baker shares the program that has revolutionized the
lives of countless unhappy people, VIP's and regular Joes and Janes
alike. First, you'll learn the only two issues that ever cause
unhappiness and devise your plan to overcome both of them. Then, Dr.
Baker teaches you how to spot the happiness traps, the five doomed ways
we try to make ourselves happy, only to dig ourselves further into
misery. Finally, he shares his happiness tools, the six simple skills
that, when practiced consistently, will inevitably lead to greater
optimism, courage, good humor, and fulfillment--in short, to happiness.
