Book Description
If you ever wonder why happiness is so elusive, why it doesnt last, why it shows up so sporadically regardless of all you do and of how much you wish to attain it, the good news is that deep and lasting happiness can be yours. Within these pages Monica Belizan shares a clear and enjoyable Program that will lead you to understand what happiness is in all its depth, and, even more importantly, it will teach you how to merge with it and live from it. The Program is deceptively simple. One Principle a week, practiced a few minutes a day, begins the journey to a more peaceful, joyful, creative version of yourself. Each Principle illuminates the path to your true core. And the practices that follow them instill in you new consciously chosen habits that lay down an immutable foundation of happiness in you and your life. You will gain clarity and focus and you will align with your unbreakable essence. Gently but surely you will become freer and freer from desperation, drama and fear, and as you do so, your transformation will ripple out, impacting the life of those close to you and beyond. If you keep an open mind, if you just follow the instructions and commit to the practices, happiness will become the backdrop of all the experiences in your lifeeven when your heart is broken, when someone you love is diagnosed with an incurable illness, when you are alone, when you are broke. You will live with Happiness No Matter What! For more information visit: www.monicabelizan.com

Book Description
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • An engaging, deeply researched guide to flourishing in a world of increasing stress and negativity—the inspiration for one of the most popular TED Talks of all time “Powerful [and] charming . . . A book for just about anyone . . . The philosophies in this book are easily the best wire frames to build a happy and successful life.”—Medium Happiness is not the belief that we don’t need to change; it is the realization that we can. Our most commonly held formula for success is broken. Conventional wisdom holds that once we succeed, we’ll be happy; that once we get that great job, win that next promotion, lose those five pounds, happiness will follow. But the science reveals this formula to be backward: Happiness fuels success, not the other way around. Research shows that happy employees are more productive, more creative, and better problem solvers than their unhappy peers. And positive people are significantly healthier and less stressed and enjoy deeper social interaction than the less positive people around them. Drawing on original research—including one of the largest studies of happiness ever conducted—and work in boardrooms and classrooms across forty-two countries, Shawn Achor shows us how to rewire our brains for positivity and optimism to reap the happiness advantage in our lives, our careers, and even our health. His strategies include: • The Tetris Effect: how to retrain our brains to spot patterns of possibility so we can see and seize opportunities all around us • Social Investment: how to earn the dividends of a strong social support network • The Ripple Effect: how to spread positive change within our teams, companies, and families By turns fascinating, hopeful, and timely, The Happiness Advantage reveals how small shifts in our mind-set and habits can produce big gains at work, at home, and elsewhere.

Book Description
A “must-read” (The Washington Post) funny and practical guide to help you find, build, and keep the relationship of your dreams. Have you ever looked around and wondered, “Why has everyone found love except me?” You’re not the only one. Great relationships don’t just appear in our lives—they’re the culmination of a series of decisions, including whom to date, how to end it with the wrong person, and when to commit to the right one. But our brains often get in the way. We make poor decisions, which thwart us on our quest to find lasting love. Drawing from years of research, behavioral scientist turned dating coach Logan Ury reveals the hidden forces that cause those mistakes. But awareness on its own doesn’t lead to results. You have to actually change your behavior. Ury shows you how. This “simple-to-use guide” (Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone) focuses on a different decision in each chapter, incorporating insights from behavioral science, original research, and real-life stories. You’ll learn: -What’s holding you back in dating (and how to break the pattern) -What really matters in a long-term partner (and what really doesn’t) -How to overcome the perils of online dating (and make the apps work for you) -How to meet more people in real life (while doing activities you love) -How to make dates fun again (so they stop feeling like job interviews) -Why “the spark” is a myth (but you’ll find love anyway) This “data-driven” (Time), step-by-step guide to relationships, complete with hands-on exercises, is designed to transform your life. How to Not Die Alone will help you find, build, and keep the relationship of your dreams.

Book Description
Everyone wants to be happy--yet so many people are unhappy today. What are they doing wrong? Clearly, a new approach is needed. Self-help guru Shimoff presents three new ideas and a practical program to change the way readers look at creating happiness in their lives: 1. Happiness is not an emotion, a spike of elation or euphoria, but a lasting, neuro-physiological state of peace and well-being. 2. True happiness is not based on what people do or have--it doesn't depend on external reasons or circumstances. 3. Research indicates that everyone has a happiness set-point. No matter what happens to a person, they will tend to return to a set range of happiness. This book shows how you can actually reprogram your set-point to a higher level.--From publisher description.

Book Description
The Seven Cs of Happiness is a book about achievement of long lasting and meaningful happiness. It shows how all of us can use common sense and moderation to be happy. It will help you understand happiness and provide a useful guide, not an answer, to a happy and successful life. It is not prescriptive, nor is it based on any of the old time religions, new age theories, Freudian principles, or other popular or esoteric doctrines. If anything, two underlying premises the book follows are; common sense and moderation. Part I explains the meaning of happiness and how it relates to our lives. It paves a way to a better understanding of the role of happiness in life. In addition, steps are laid out to focus and coordinate our goals, desires, and wishes to create a meaningful life. Part II provides how the seven Cs (Commitment, Communication, Contentment, Character, Courage, Compassion, Compromise), may be used to help us become happy. These seven elements of a happy life have been written and talked about throughout the history of mankind. In fact, one may say that the basis of these Cs is the most important C of them all, Common Sense. Although each of the elements is discussed separately, all of them, to some degree, are necessary for the pursuit of happiness. The seven Cs are easy to understand, although a little more difficult to live by , as they are inter-related in the application to our daily lives. The chapters in Part II are not arranged in any order of importance. Not a single C is sufficient for all your needs, nor are all the Cs needed at all the time. Depending on an individuals priorities and needs, for a specific situation, significance and application of the elements will be very different. So, there are situations where Compromise may be of more value than Commitment. People of all occupations, from the president of a large corporation to the layman in the street , from a housewife to a young man in college, should be able to benefit from this book.

Book Description
Many historians agree that America's greatness is a direct result of America being a frontier country for our first 300 years. To survive the harsh life of the frontier required people who were hard working and creative, with ingenuity and a desire to work with their neighbor. As far back as the time of Moses and the Ten Commandments, people have lived by principles that worked as guidelines for successful lives. And the same was true with the people who lived on the American frontier. Although they were 300 years in the making, these principles were solidified by the American cowboy in our last frontier. They became known as "The Code of the West." To make this code relevant to our lives today, Dakota has used a large number of stories and examples from the past and the present that show us how to apply them to each of our daily lives; and as a result, live a fulfilling life.
