'Happiness is nothing more than a few simple disciplines practised every day... while misery is simply a few errors of judgement and bad habits repeated every day.'
So says respected psychologist and author Dr Timothy Sharp, founder of the Happiness Institute in Australia and author of 'The Happiness Handbook'. In the revised edition of this engaging book, he shows that happiness is nothing more than a way of thinking and doing; that beliefs lead to actions, which in turn lead to happiness. His strategies are practical and simple and, in his experience with clients, effective.
This second edition contains a new chapter presenting the widely praised CHOOSE happiness model. This distinctive approach brings together findings from the last few decades of Positive Psychology research and presents them in a way that's both practical and easy to remember. The CHOOSE model presents six key strategies to happiness including clarity and optimism, building positive relationships and utilising your inner strengths. Timothy Sharp says: 'There's no doubt that happiness is something you choose -- and this new model will help you make more decisions that will lead to more happiness'.
