Happiness can be elusive. We know what it feels like, we know we like it, but few people understand how to create real happiness.
If you are like most people, you have a busy life juggling work, school, family, friends, and other commitments. Such a life may lead you to feel more stressed and less happy, especially because you may not even have time to find out how to cultivate happiness amid a busy life. Don't worry. Angelica Ribeiro did the work for you, with amazing results. Running into Happiness shows how you can consciously create happiness in your busy everyday schedule.
Based on the teachings of eminent positive psychologists, Running into Happiness shares Ribeiro's journey toward happiness while offering the tools she used to improve her mood, her energy level, and her life. Following Ribeiro's carefully constructed Happiness Habit Journal helps you identify what makes you happy while developing self-knowledge and personal responsibility for your own emotions.
No one is happy all the time, but as Ribeiro discovered, consciously working toward happiness increases how often we feel joy and contentment. Her happiness journal worked in the high-stress environment of graduate studies, and it can work for you too.
Running into Happiness is enhanced when purchased with My Happiness Habit Journal.
