A Good Read

I truly believe that this book is a very easy, but constructive read. If you really take what the author is saying seriously, then you will be sure to walk away with a little more insight on the keys to a happier life. I bought this book for a college assignment, and thought it was going to be stupid. However, quickly the book became familar and something that I could easily relate to. Without a doubt, this is a great buy and everyone should take the time to read it and think about what it tells them.

A Common Sense Message That's Not So Easy To Do

Values, particularly shared good values and accomplishments will lead to happiness. You can buy your way out of terrible misery sometimes, but cannot buy happiness. Dan Baker shows why money can't buy happiness.

People naturally need a unity of purpose. There has to be something more than just a shallow goal to get ahead of somebody else.

Baker's message is excellent and backed up by professional experience, but he wouldn't win a popularity contest with that message.

An exceptional book that will transform those that are ready

If you attempt to read this book and find it meaningless or irritating, then keep searching because your time hasn't yet come. You need a lot more suffering before you begin to see the truth, which may or may not happen in this life.

If on the other hand your process of realisation has already started, then this book will supply a few of the still missing pieces of the puzzle.

There is nothing more I can say.

Happiness is not a state of being. It is a continual process that one must work at throughout life. Baker provides excellent, simple, yet powerful suggestions on how we can focus our intentions and actions on becoming happier in our lives. Using many examples of real-life people and their situations, Baker provides more than just food for thought. He provides tried and proven ideas to actually help people move past their fears towards a more enjoyable and satisfying life. It is a book that everyone, including 'happy' people, will benefit from reading.

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.
