We all know happiness is a state of mind, but few of us know how to improve our share of it. Many people think that happiness just comes out of nowhere. Not so. The reality is you can create your own happiness by choosing what you do, what you say, where you go, what you remember, who and what you surround yourself with, what you think and what you listen to. The Book of Happiness kicks off with a Happiness Questionnaire to give you an instant snapshot of your current state of mind. Once you have scored yourself, you will learn the areas you need to focus on. There is a workbook to complete at each key stage, as well as stirring anecdotes, tips and happy thoughts to keep you going. Just remember: it only takes 21 days to get rid of an unwanted habit and to acquire a new one. Isn't it about time you got the happiness habit?

From the authors of the best-selling The Secrets of Happily Married Men comes the much-anticipated follow-up book The Secrets of Happily Married Women. In their first book, Dr. Haltzman and his coauthor Theresa Foy DiGeronmio outlined a recipe for men about growing a happy marriage: treat marriage with the same sense of purpose, resolve, and single-minded devotion that they have for their job. Although that workplace formula works well for men, an entirely different set of criteria resonate with women. In The Secrets of Happily Married Women, Dr. Haltzman tells us stories from real women who are happy in their relationships. These women know how to get more out of their partners by doing less, by not trying so hard to make men perfect, not dragging them to couples therapy, not expecting them to think or behave like a woman. These are women from Dr. Haltzman's clinical practice and culled from thousands of contributors to his Web site www.HappilyMarriedWomen.com. They have learned to understand how men really work and tap into men's powerful hard-wired desire to please women and «be a better man.»

Viele Menschen durchleben derzeit mehr ?ngste, Aufregungen und Sorgen als jemals zuvor. Sie haben den Eindruck, dass ihnen die Dinge entgleiten. Sie haben das Gef?hl, selber machtlos zu sein, w?hrend sich ihre Umgebung massiv ver?ndert. Kann man angesichts der fundamentalen Umbr?che in der Welt noch ein entspanntes Leben f?hren? Ja, sagt Bestsellerautor Patrick Lynen und geht sogar noch einen Schritt weiter: Jede Ver?nderung im Au?en k?nnen wir geschickt f?r uns nutzen. Lynen zeigt auf, warum wir die aktuellen Ereignisse als gro?e Chance begreifen k?nnen. Ganz nach dem Motto: Clever denken – kl?ger handeln – gelassener leben.

Wir Frauen haben im Alltag h?ufig das Gef?hl, dass wir nicht genug schaffen, dass wir nicht mithalten k?nnen, dass wir schuld an allem sind und so weiter. Wenn wir nicht die Karriereleiter erklimmen, den Haushalt schmei?en, die Kinder zu Freunden fahren oder zu Bett bringen, Sport machen, meditieren und nebenbei noch Verabredungen und M?delsabende planen, denken wir von uns selbst, dass wir nicht gut genug sind. Und was tun wir dann? Wir entschuldigen uns noch daf?r! Es ist an der Zeit, unsere Verhaltensmuster gr?ndlich zu ?berdenken. Denn unsere Zufriedenheit leidet geh?rig unter dem Stress, dem wir uns selbst aussetzen, wenn wir st?ndig zu allem Ja sagen: zu den ungeliebten Aufgaben im Job ebenso wie zu der Frage, wer den M?ll runterbringt. Damit machen wir uns vielleicht beliebt, aber gl?cklich werden wir auf Dauer nicht. Erin Falconer zeigt in ihrem Ratgeber f?r Frauen auf, wie es Ihnen gelingt, dem Hamsterrad zu entkommen und in Zukunft weniger zu machen – viel weniger. Die erfolgreiche Gr?nderin von zwei Technologie-Start-ups hat selbst erlebt, was passiert, wenn Frauen einem veralteten Ideal von Produktivit?t und Perfektionismus nachjagen. In ihrem Buch macht sie deutlich, wie Sie sich auf die drei Bereiche Ihres Lebens konzentrieren k?nnen, die Ihnen wirklich wichtig sind und in denen Sie Spitzenleistungen erbringen m?chten. Und sie erkl?rt, wie Sie alles andere loswerden, indem Sie lernen Nein zu sagen, zu delegieren oder sich gar den Teufel um etwas zu scheren. Mit vielen praktischen Ratschl?gen, Dutzenden umsetzbarer Tipps und Tools sowie authentischen Geschichten zeigt Erin Falconer selbst den Perfektionistischsten unter uns, wie wir uns von vermeintlichen Pflichten und Anspr?chen anderer an uns befreien. Indem wir unsere innere Freiheit zur?ckgewinnen, gelingt es uns auch, ein erf?lltes Leben zu f?hren.
