Product Description
What would it take to make you happy? A fulfilling career, a big bank account, or the perfect mate? What if it didn't take anything to make you happy? What if you could experience happiness from the inside out -- no matter what's going on in your life?In Happy for No Reason: 7 Steps to Being Happy from the Inside Out, transformational expert Marci Shimoff offers a breakthrough approach to being happy, one that doesn't depend on achievements, goals, money, relationships, or anything else "out there." Most books on happiness tell you to find the things that make you happy and do more of them. Although there's nothing wrong with that, it won't bring you the kind of deep and lasting happiness most people long for -- the kind you'll never lose, no matter what happens in your life. Based on cutting-edge research and knowledge from the world's leading experts in the fields of positive psychology and neurophysiology, plus interviews with 100 truly happy people, this life-changing book provides a powerful, proven 7-step program that will enable you to be happier right now -- no matter where you start. Studies show that each of us has a "happiness setpoint" -- a fixed range of happiness we tend to return to throughout our life -- that's approximately 50 percent genetic and 50 percent learned. In the same way you'd crank up the thermostat to get comfortable on a chilly day, you can actually raise your happiness set-point! The holistic 7-step program at the heart of Happy for No Reason encompasses Happiness Habits for all areas of life: personal power, mind, heart, body, soul, purpose, and relationships. In these pages you'll discover moving and remarkable first-person stories of people who have applied these steps to their own lives and have become Happy for No Reason. You'll read phenomenal tales from a former drug dealer turned minister, a hit filmmaker, and a famous actress who escaped a "family curse," as well as stories from doctors, mothers, teachers, and business executives. You'll learn practical strategies that will help you experience happiness from the inside out. You don't have to have happy genes, win the lottery, or lose twenty pounds. By the time you finish this book, you will know how to experience sustained happiness for the rest of your life.

 I liked "Tao Cycle Therapy"better, but this is pretty good.
This book is 3 1/2-4 stars. The one below is 5 1/2-6 stars.
Just my opinion, hope it helps- frank

 How does this keep happening?
I really can't keep up with all the recent positive thinking garbage. If I didn't need to read this stuff for my job I'd be a much less frustrated girl. Maybe that's telling me something?(: I feel like Sarah Brown should start paying me a commission, because every time I read another "the secret" type book like this one here is, I find myself comparing it to Sarah's book (which is nothing like the secret), and they keep failing to stack up to it. Once again, here's the link to a real book. I'm starting to sound like a broken record: Tao Cycle Therapy: Natural Happiness via Self Directed Cure for Chronic Anxiety & Depression [Updated 2008 3nd Edition]

 This is getting really old, really fast
I'm sorry, I have to defer to Shikitao-Brown's book once again. Tao Cycle Therapy: Natural Happiness via Self Directed Cure for Chronic Anxiety & Depression [Updated 2008 3nd Edition]
If you just can't get enough of this same old positive thinking/the secret/just love yourself junk, then "happy for no reason" isn't the worst I've seen. It's put together pretty well and it's fairly coherent compared to some others of this pop-psy genre. However, if you insist on buying and reading this same old stuff, maybe you should ask yourself if you really want to know what's going on in your brain or not. There are Real Books that will actually tell you. They don't spend millions marketing their books because they also have real jobs. The book I linked above (Tao Cycle Therapy) is just one of many that offer real answers.

 Happy I Read It! ( enlightenmentlane )
Read almost any book on how to live a fulfilling life--including my own book--and you will be told that happiness is something that comes from within. It is basically a choice, and that choice is not dependent upon outside circumstances. Making that choice can be a challenge, however. There are many things that can inhibit your ability to choose happiness. And that's where HAPPY FOR NO REASON can help. In this remarkable book, Marci Shimoff not only spells out all the traits that happy people have in common, but she also provides some very specific techniques and exercises to help you get over anything that may standing in the way of your happiness. I highly recommend this wonderful and helpful book.
