The Art of Choosing Happiness

How to Make Being Happy Your New Habit So You Can Live Your Best Life Yet

Are you one of the many people who strive for happiness? Do you believe it’s unobtainable?

The last couple of years have been tough on many people, myself included. I have seen my happiness levels decline as the world changes and we become familiar with a new normal. Many of the activities that give me joy, e.g., traveling overseas, visiting family and friends, eating out, etc., have been out of reach or not as easy to access.

The impact of the global pandemic has no doubt affected us all. The last year has been a time to go inwards and look at what is important in life. The pace of life slowed down; we had more time at home and so, more self-reflection time. For me, one of the top things on my list was looking at what I wanted from life and my own happiness.

In The Art of Choosing Happiness, you’ll discover the things I learned:

• The myths surrounding happiness and why we believe it is out of reach for us, these are just that - myths!
• What is happiness? Yes, there is more than one type, and we feel them all.
• The surprising place ‘money’ has on the list of what makes people happy.
• How age and gender play a role in what makes us happy.
• The difference changing a glass half empty mentality to glass half full can have on all aspects of your life.
• The cliché “happiness is an inside job” is true and should be your mantra. You really do choose to be happy or not.
• The main emotions that stand between you and your ability to live your best life and how to address these.
• It’s perfectly okay for my happiness to look different to yours; you are the only judge of your happiness.
• Daily practices I have adopted so happiness becomes my new normal.
• Some of my favorite inspirational happiness quotes.
• How a happier mindset can make you a more attractive person to be around.

The Art of Choosing Happiness is for anyone looking to identify the source of their unhappiness, stress, and discontent and to turn this around to live a more fulfilled life.

The insight I gained on this journey made me further appreciate the small things in life, such as enjoying that cup of tea in my garden. It helped me rebuild my own boundaries, which were always there, but I never had the confidence to share these with others. I now stand as a more confident, happier version of myself.

Very insightful!

As a psychology major I can definitely appreciate this book. I enjoyed the anecdote,a the references to psychologist such as Maslow, and the structure of this book. It was a good listen the narrator was wonderful. The author presented The information in a clear manner. As somebody who is trying to search for happiness, this was the perfect ead for me. It gave me a new perspective.

A helpful guide

This was a very helpful guide that raises questions and points that will make you consider your own situation and priorities that impact your own happiness. I appreciate that there are practical and actionable steps you can take to improve and adjust your own outlook. This is definitely a book that can be revisited often

Choose Happiness

A great audiobook that dives into the concept of happiness and how to really achieve it and live a more fulfilling life.

A Good Resource

This is a surprisingly comprehensive book on how to change your life by learning about happiness. Components, exercises, quotes and citations, lots of easy to follow examples--all of it in nice bite-sized chapters. The book is inspiring and enlightening.
The narrator did a terrific job. His tone and pacing were excellent. I truly enjoyed his narration.

Be Happy!

This author explores happiness from many angles and quotes thought leaders on the process. She has obviously done her research, and we could all use the tools presented in this audiobook. This book could be used in tandem with a gratitude journal. I was reminded about the idea that happiness is a choice recently when I watched the AGT special with Nightbirde. Although a cancer victim, abandoned by her husband, and with only a 2% chance of survival, she sings. And she said something we can all use as a mantra for life: "You can't wait until life isn't hard anymore before you decide to be happy." It's our choice.

An uplifting and helpful book

I kept feeling like I should be taking notes. There’s so much valuable information in this book that you’ll want to return to certain chapters and listen again and again. The book is well researched and contains plenty of cited studies. The writing style is also good and easy to follow. I also enjoyed the real life experiences and practical tips, such as learning how to breathe when you’re in a stressful situation. The narrator did a fantastic job. Narration was flawless and clear. I’m not sure if this comes in paperback but if it does, you’ll want it.

Honest review for a freebie

A prefect fit of storys and informative methods to deal with negative forces towards one's happiness.
