Destination Happiness

Become happier doing a couple of simple exercises every day We had the success formula backwards. Science can now prove it. Study hard, get a job, work hard, become successful — and THEN you'll be happy. How did that formula work out for you? For Marc Reklau, it didn't. He followed it for ten years into a job he hated, until he was fired two days before his fortieth birthday. Then he discovered what two decades of research in positive psychology had already proven: it's the other way around. Happiness leads to success — not the reverse. Optimistic salespeople sell 56% more. Happy managers improve customer satisfaction by 42%. In the famous "Nun Study," the nuns with the most joyful journal entries lived nearly ten years longer. The problem? The scientific studies that prove all this are nearly unreadable. (Marc tried. He failed miserably.) And the self-help books that ARE readable often promise miracles they can't deliver. Destination Happiness connects the best of both worlds: scientifically proven exercises, written so you'll actually enjoy doing them. You'll learn: ...and much more. Don't be fooled by the simplicity of the exercises. Happiness is a skill — a daily decision. It's not effortless, it has to be practiced, but the results will show in every area of your life.
