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.
Can Even Help An Angry, Anxious, Depressed, Cynic Feel Good I’ve read so many self help books over the years, and I can’t say any of them have been very helpful. Interesting, definitely – but nothing that got me closer to feeling the way I’ve dreamed about for so long: happy, confident, & relaxed. I’ve gotten so skeptical. Thank God there was still enough of a spark of desperate hope buried in me to get me to pick up this wonderful book.
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You, Dr. Baker! I have been in and out of counseling for 18 years and have read many self-help books. I have spent countless hours trying to figure out what was “wrong” with me, so that I could fix it.
