About this title

Synopsis

Explore the basic foundations of true happiness through a unique exchange of emails that will change how you view psychology and yourself

How can I be happy? While the question is deceptively simple, it isn't easy. However, it's exactly what Authentic Happiness in Seven Emails sets out to answer.

In 2013, a woman found herself at a crossroads. How does a person find happiness? Middle-aged, uncertain, and struggling to come to terms with her own life, Vickay went searching for the answers. She'd exhausted all the avenues we tell ourselves: Work. Money. Career. Relationships. Material possessions.

But she still wasn't happy.

Then she reached out to J. Wong, the professor of a college course on the psychology of happiness. In a poignant email, she asked the professor a very simple question: how can I be happy? Thus began an exchange that would take both parties on a journey through philosophy, psychology, life experiences, and ultimately, to understanding how we as human make choices to help or hinder our own paths to happiness.

Balancing basic psychological principles with practical life experiences, author Javy Galindo uses these emails to outline the basics behind the psychology of happiness. More than that, he explores what it means to be happy and the paths humans take to find joy in life. This isn't a textbook or dry collegiate material. Authentic Happiness in Seven Emails is a dialogue between two people exploring one of the hardest things we can do in life: be happy. In doing so, this quirky little book explores a number of powerful concepts:

What makes us happy?
If happiness is a choice, why don't we always choose it?
What is happiness anyway?
How can we experience more peace and less negativity?
How can we experience more joy?
How can we be more engaged and satisfied with our lives?
How can we live a meaningful life and rediscover our sense of purpose?

Being happy is a lifelong journey that starts with a single step. Using modern psychology, ancient philosophy, and practical tools for a modern world, this book can help you find your own unique, everyday happiness.

Are you lost on your pursuit of happiness? Maybe it's time you found the just the right path.
