Happiness 101: A Practical Guide to Happiness

This is not a feel-good fantasy or spiritual fluff. It's a practical, grounded guide to understanding what happiness is (and isn't), and how to create it every single day.

Drawing on proven tools from positive psychology, neuroscience, mindfulness, and real-world examples, this book helps you build your own "happiness system." Whether you're navigating stress, feeling stuck, or just want more meaning and joy in your life, Happiness 101 gives you clear frameworks and daily practices to shift your mindset, habits, and perspective-without needing a big life overhaul.
Inside, you'll discover:

• The difference between short-term pleasure and lasting fulfillment
• How to avoid common mental traps like comparison, rumination, and burnout
