We don’t lack comfort — we lack inner rest.

The Practice of Happiness is not another book telling you to “stay positive.” It’s a calm, intelligent invitation to recalibrate your inner system — biological, psychological, and emotional — so that peace is no longer an accident, but a habit.

We often confuse happiness with its sparks: pleasure, excitement, recognition, love. These moments are precious, but they are not the foundation of a fulfilled life — they are only the flashes. True happiness, Sébastien Studer explains, is not euphoric; it is coherent. It appears when our thoughts, emotions, and actions move in the same direction.

Drawing on neuroscience, modern psychology, and lived experience, the author shows how our current lifestyle silently disrupts this inner alignment — through overstimulation, comparison, and chronic stress — and how to restore it with small, repeatable practices.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• why modern happiness exhausts us instead of restoring us
• how dopamine (the “chase” chemical) hijacks our peace
• the 4 pillars of lasting well-being: meaning, connection, serenity, movement
• how to build an “inner ecosystem” that supports calm
• emotional minimalism: what to stop carrying
• the power of micro-victories, rest, and returning to the body

This book doesn’t promise a permanent state of bliss. It offers something more realistic — and more powerful: an antifragile happiness, able to withstand doubt, loss, and change without breaking.

The Practice of Happiness is for those who have “everything” but still feel off-balance, for those who are tired of performing well-being, and for those who are ready to slow down — not to do less, but to live right.

Happiness isn’t found. It’s practiced.
