In his new book, The Power of Happiness, Timothy McKinney shows readers how to be happy from the inside out. Happiness is about more than just a positive attitude or a good mood. Happiness comes from a deep sense of well-being that allows a person to be happy regardless of external circumstances. The Power of Happiness gives deep insights into what happiness is and how to reduce worry, stress, and frustration. By learning how to have different responses and reactions to the situations faced every day, readers are able to be happier with the life they have now!
By the end of this book, readers will have discovered:
• What happiness really is
• How you can know if you’re happy (hint: it’s not a feeling)
• What the benefits are to being happy
• What the individual differences of happiness are
• What foods you should eat to be happier
• Whether or not money can make you happy (the answer might surprise you)
• Ten myths about happiness
• How to develop your OWN happiness
After exploring what happiness is, McKinney goes on to discuss how to overcome unhappiness. Readers with a negative attitude will learn what to do to turn their thoughts around. The last part of the book contains ten “hows” of happiness—ten keys to creating a happier life. Readers who want to learn how to be happy no matter what circumstances they face are sure to love The Power of Happiness.
Insightful book and a very quick read. I bought this book on a whim, during a time of not-so-happiness (my cat had run away and was subsequently hit by a car), and boy am I glad I did. I started reading it at around noon on the day I bought it, without much expectation, and before I knew it I was around 75% done. I wound up finishing this well-researched, entertainingly sprinkled-with-quotes book the next day.Like I said, I’m very happy to have stumbled upon this book. It’s kind of given me a renewed sense of optimism and sense that happiness is truly attainable for everyone. It’s a very quick read and well worth it, in my humble opinion. I’m looking forward to any future works the author puts out, and would recommend this book to any of my friends, happy and unhappy alike.
A Handbook For Smiling So Very Big! It wasn’t too long ago someone told me I was dreaming my life away. Days later those words rang through my mind. I began to think about what that person saw that I didn’t. It wasn’t that I felt depressed. I’m very content and happy with where I’m at in life. However, I do dream of “better days.”The Power of Happiness is a well worded handbook breaking down happiness and what exactly that means. One story, among so many amazing stories in this guide, particularly stood out for me. It was about a young couple who had nothing but each other. They moved to Europe on a whim. They had no money; barely made ends meet. As they grew, some things changed, many remained the same. For that particular couple is was about each other. About their adventure. About their struggle. That’s how they lived a life of happiness.Through powerful stories, well documented facts, delightful quotes the author does a great job at making his case. But what really put me over the edge was how he encouraged me to interact with the “lesson.” Thank you for making it my own and not just a boring lecture.Highly recommended for all who are just dreaming their life away.
