¿How to be happy? I think there is no more important question, and, believe it or not, science has studied what works to be happier and live a more fulfilled life. If you want to be happier and less depressed, there are things that you can do, and they are really effective in the real world. Forget empty promises and forget the unproven theories of traditional self help. Many of those things don't work or, even worse, they are more harmful than you think when you put them to the test. If you have ever wondered "how can I be happier?" In these pages you will know what has been proved to be effective. Now, many self help books are based on myths. Did you know that widespread techniques like visualization or positive affirmations not only don't work, but they sabotage our efforts to be happier? Well, that's true, when they were studied, those who applied these techniques, as you will see in the book, ended doing worse. We live trapped by those myths, and many others, regarding happiness. If you are sick and tired of all those things that don't work, you are in the right place. This book contains only the techniques that brought real results. Some of the things that you will learn in this book. + What's the element that self help constantly ignores in the happiness equation. Hint: it's the element that gives more dramatic results when you work on it. + The real relationship between money and happiness. + The easy physical changes that will improve your mood and happiness almost overnight. + The daily practice that makes us happier (and it only takes a couple of minutes). + The mental tool that really works to be happier with ourselves. Everything proven with real studies. I don't think science is the be-all end-all, but it's the best tool that we have. It has answered most of your questions regarding happiness and you will find the most important answers in these pages
