The Happiness Code: A sneak preview!


I'm currently working on my new book - The Happiness Code.
Here is a sneak preview...

Have you ever wondered why some people are really, genuinely happy yet others experience a near constant state of stress, frustration or disappointment? Why does happiness come so easily to some people? And how can you make sure it comes easily to you?

If you strive to be the best you can be, not only will The Happiness Code be an exciting and inspiring discovery, it will be a relief. By encouraging you to stop trying to be perfect and instead incorporate its ten guiding principles into your life, you will finally discover the secret to lasting happiness.

As a success coach, I have had the chance to examine the thoughts and feelings of hundreds of people. I have found that many people are so focused on changing themselves that they lose themselves in the process. Although their initial desire may have been for self-improvement, too often they use their new education and discoveries as fresh material with which to engage in critical perfectionist behaviour, leading to frustration and anxiety, an erosion of self-belief, and ultimately a lack of enjoyment and fulfilment from everyday life.

When I share this observation, all too often the response I receive is, “I’m just trying to be the best that I can be”.

But what does being the best you can be really mean?

At last there is an answer...

The 10 Happiness Code: 10 Guiding Principles
  1. Take charge: the principle of choice
