Synopsis

The pursuit of happiness is the biggest goal of all, but finding happiness isn't easy and life often gets in the way. Happiness doesn’t just happen, people need a clearer vision of attainable happiness, defined in simple terms - people need a plan.

The Happiness Plan is therefore well timed. It offers an accessible set of simple observations about how any individual can be happier, here and now, by choice, self-awareness and practice. By asking provocative questions, McConnell involves the reader in a process of defining happiness according to his or her own values.

This book strongly advocates an approach to greater happiness here and now, without leaving the day job, switching the family to the coast or becoming impoverished. The Happiness Plan is written for hard working, time poor people, helping them to make some real changes with the right ideas

About this title

From the Back Cover:

What would make you happier?

 

Think of the things that make you happiest: The things that really matter, the things that really last. Can you imagine having more of them in your life?  Thought so...

 

All this is possible, but happiness doesn’t just happen.   Happiness is something we have to find for ourselves.   Everyone needs a plan.

With Carmel McConnell’s "ABC" of a happier life, you can learn how to;

·         Understand what can really make us happy (and it might not be what you think)

·         Recognise the big sources of happiness in your life (and make more room for them)

·         Use some simple, powerful techniques to achieve some lasting changes to your life

So, if you think you could be happier, now you can do something about it.  

 

“Carmel will convince you to put happiness back on the agenda – right back in the centre of your life. As always, the timing of her message is spot on and her down-to-earth practical plan will get you making changes instantly.”
  
Fiona Harrold, author of Be Your Own Life Coach and The 7 Rules of Success

"Just as the 'culture' of an organisation determines whether it is a happy place to work, so the cast of mind of an individual can determine if they are happy or glum. Carmel McConnell is great at altering mind-sets."

Prue Leith OBE

“The perfect manual for those who have already set off in search of the holy grail of happiness and wondered why they got no further than the frozen foods section at Sainsbury's.”

Allison Ogden-Newton, Chief Executive, Social Enterprise London
