The Pursuit of Happiness

A practical guide to achieving greater happiness

When asked, most people would agree they want to learn to be happy, yet for many of us achieving this goal seems elusive at best. For something so highly prized, the concept of achieving happiness is poorly understood. What is happiness? While many may believe that happiness is a matter of luck, fate or heavenly grace, nothing could be farther from the truth. If you want to be among the happy people, to increase the amount of happiness you experience in your life, then The Pursuit of Happiness is for you.

Not a quick fix, secret remedy or a magic bullet, The Pursuit of Happiness offers twenty-eight pages of practical hands-on tools, that when applied with commitment and conscious effort can bring greater happiness into our lives.

 

The course material blends a synopsis of the most recent research in the field of Positive Psychology with over thirty years of clinical experience in a highly learnable, practical, hands-on fashion. The result is a self-guided workbook that explores the component attributes of happiness and addresses the question: How do you be happy? In The Pursuit of Happiness you will learn how to:

 

  •     answer the question: How can I be happy?
  •     understand the attributes common to happy people
  •     deconstruct happy experiences to learn how to create more of them
  •     recognize the role of character traits in creating happiness
  •     understand the relationship between happiness and adversity
  •     appreciate the value of looking to the greater good

Written and led by Bill Colagrande, a licensed psychotherapist with over twenty-five years experience, The Pursuit of Happiness features challenging and thought-provoking exercises, a fun and informative questionnaire, easy to follow examples and supplemental readings geared to help you to realize your life’s ambition. Why continue to limit your opportunities for having greater happiness in your life when the tools and support you need are only a click away?
