The Happiness Track

'This book is brilliant - read it and be prepared to reset your mood to happy. Your life won't be the same again' Daily Express

Everyone wants to be happy and successful and yet the pursuit of both has never been more elusive. We are urged to craft careers that matter, to achieve more and waste no time on the small stuff, to be actively engaged in our communities and, while we are at it, to relish every second. Rather than thriving, all this pressure leads to declining wellbeing, relationships and, paradoxically, productivity.

In THE HAPPINESS TRACK Emma Seppala explains that behind our inability to achieve sustainable fulfillment are counterproductive theories of success. Success doesn't have to come at our personal expense. Drawing on the latest research into resilience, willpower, growth mindset, stress, creativity, compassion, mindfulness, gratitude training and optimism, Seppala shows how nurturing ourselves is the most productive thing we can do to thrive professionally and personally. Filled with practical advice on how to apply these findings to your daily life, THE HAPPINESS TRACK is a life-changing guide to fast-tracking your success and creating an anxiety-free life.

The best news of all? All these skills are well within your grasp

Emma Seppala convinces us that reconfiguring our brain for happiness can change the way our lives unfold and the way we approach success. A worthwhile read for anyone who wants to achieve a successful and fulfilling life.

For decades we've been tied to theories of success that have burned us out and driven us into the ground-because we don't know of any alternatives. The Happiness Track provides us with a highly-readable, science-backed solution to obtaining sustainable success, the sort of success we are all really striving for, that leaves us fulfilled, happy, and healthy.

Dr. Seppala turns cutting edge science into a fast-paced, practical book with profound implications. Remarkably, happiness feels good because it is good for our health, relationships, and work. Drawing on research from neuroscience and psychology, and her own ground-breaking work at Stanford, she gives us six powerful ways to turn greater well-being into greater success.

This book is a breath of fresh air, helping to bust the myth that we need to do more, better, faster, and more efficiently to be happy. Seppala shows us that by letting go of our relentless striving to achieve, we can realize the calm, joy, and compassion that are already here in the present moment.
