Summary

Many people believe they can only be happy when their problems are solved, relationships improve, and goals are achieved. In this simple guide, Dr. Richard Carlson shows listeners how to be happy right now — no matter the situation. His plan, based on the principles of Thought (thoughts are voluntary, not involuntary); Mood (thinking is a voluntary that varies function varies from moment to moment and these variances are called moods); Separate Realities (everyone thinks in a unique way and lives in separate psychological realities); Feelings (feelings and emotions serve as a barometer for when one is “off-track” and headed for unhappiness); and the Present Moment (the only time when genuine contentment, satisfaction, and happiness). This timeless book guides listeners through life's challenges and restores the joy of living along the way.

I was skeptical if this book at first, then as I listened, I started to see things differently and I began feeling more peace inside. It allowed me to forgive and move on, instead of holding onto the past which I couldn’t change. I definitely recommend it for anyone who is going through heartbreak, sadness, grief, depression & anxiety.
I listened to it in one day, and now I’m going to listen to it again.

Helped me look at things differently

Carlson's book was a recommendation from another author.

I was expecting another cookie cutter think positive thoughts and you will be happy 😊

Instead I now have a greater understanding of thoughts, feelings, emotions and the impact they have on all of our lives.

Thankyou 🙏 Richard for a truly wonderful read.

In my opinion - Life changing

Expected nothing!
