Book excerpt: In today's challenging times, Happy in Spite of People, is the crucial missing "peace" that nourishes your mind, heart and spirit. This uplifting, liberating and relevant parable provides an innovative and pragmatic approach to dealing with people at work and in life where 12 complex human personas and personalities are represented as cats. You will laugh while you learn and be energized with refreshing insights, proven techniques and timeless truths for having healthier relationships. Break through personal roadblocks, take charge of your choices and communications, and achieve better results and more success! Happy in Spite of People makes people skills simple and fun for everyone! Gain a glimpse into the human psyche to see beyond the appearances to the truth. Everyone is on your team for greatness - no exceptions. REJUVENATE your soul by putting the fun back into dys-fun-ction and LIVE your greatest and most fulfilling life now! You are meant for greatness! Everyone is in the people business! Emotional intelligence (EI) is gaining momentum as the critical success factor for organizations and business people where job competence and experience no longer suffice. According to Daniel Goleman, EI accounts for up to 69 percent of job performance. Applied emotional intelligence - people genius - builds trust in oneself, in others and in life. Through my experiences as a global executive coach and trusted consultant across 17 industries, I have found that trust is the factor that ultimately determines our competitive advantage, our success and our well-being. Happy in Spite of People takes EI from a mental and intellectual theory to a practical, personally relevant and authentic approach to people and life through light-hearted storytelling and humor providing giggles, laughter and refreshing insights that refuel and energize the time-starved, stretched, stressed, depleted or weary. The cats deliver life messages, the struggles and tensions of interpersonal relationships. The parable is depersonalized as you see the cats acting out in your everyday life. Happy in Spite of People alleviates the "mystery" of identifying various personalities and how to adjust to their style thus optimizing interactions and creating heartfelt connections by providing insightful practical, concise tips and actions while eliciting self-understanding and self-acceptance. Happy in Spite of People is easy to understand and is a real-world blueprint for dealing with all the "cats" in your life and a life-changing solution for living as courageously as only you can. You were created on purpose for a purpose! Unwind, reflect, learn, smile and ignite your relationships while gaining a greater sense of significance, meaning, self-confidence and true success. You are meant for greatness!

Book excerpt: Spite angers and enrages us, but it also keeps us honest. In this provocative account, a psychologist examines how petty vengeance explains human thriving. Spite seems utterly useless. You don't gain anything by hurting yourself just so you can hurt someone else. So why hasn't evolution weeded out all the spiteful people? As psychologist Simon McCarthy-Jones argues, spite seems pointless because we're looking at it wrong. Spite isn't just what we feel when a car cuts us off or when a partner cheats. It's what we feel when we want to punish a bad act simply because it was bad. Spite is our fairness instinct, an innate resistance to exploitation, and it is one of the building blocks of human civilization. As McCarthy-Jones explains, some of history's most important developments—the rise of religions, governments, and even moral codes—were actually redirections of spiteful impulses. A provocative, engaging read, Spite shows that if you really want to understand what makes us human, you can't just look at noble ideas like altruism and cooperation. You need to understand our darker impulses as well.

Book excerpt: "Being Happy on Purpose is about making a conscious decision in each moment to move towards happiness. It is not about a perfect life. It is not about having things. It is about creating YOUR experience and being open to the beauty, joy, and abundance that already exists in your life and calibrating yourself to recognize it with ease." JENNIFER SPARKS Happy on Purpose explores what happy people do differently and how these differences create a happy life, often despite less than desirable circumstances. Through engaging and honest stories, Jennifer demonstrates that happiness is something that we can choose to create if we are prepared to step out of our comfort zones, examine our social conditioning, and explore our desires more fully. True to her down-to-earth style, Jennifer entices you to connect to the transparent and vulnerable examples she shares about her own struggle to create sustainable happiness. By the time you flip the final page, you will undoubtedly know that you are not alone and that happiness is possible regardless of where you currently are in your own journey. It is up to all of us to be Happy on Purpose. This book also comes with an action-based companion resource, The HAPPYPACK, which can be downloaded from www.swiftkicklife.com.

Book excerpt: In Furiously Happy, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jenny Lawson explores her lifelong battle with mental illness. A hysterical, ridiculous book about crippling depression and anxiety? That sounds like a terrible idea. But terrible ideas are what Jenny does best. As Jenny says: "Some people might think that being 'furiously happy' is just an excuse to be stupid and irresponsible and invite a herd of kangaroos over to your house without telling your husband first because you suspect he would say no since he's never particularly liked kangaroos. And that would be ridiculous because no one would invite a herd of kangaroos into their house. Two is the limit. I speak from personal experience. My husband says that none is the new limit. I say he should have been clearer about that before I rented all those kangaroos. "Most of my favorite people are dangerously fucked-up but you'd never guess because we've learned to bare it so honestly that it becomes the new normal. Like John Hughes wrote in The Breakfast Club, 'We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it.' Except go back and cross out the word 'hiding.'" Furiously Happy is about "taking those moments when things are fine and making them amazing, because those moments are what make us who we are, and they're the same moments we take into battle with us when our brains declare war on our very existence. It's the difference between "surviving life" and "living life". It's the difference between "taking a shower" and "teaching your monkey butler how to shampoo your hair." It's the difference between being "sane" and being "furiously happy." Lawson is beloved around the world for her inimitable humor and honesty, and in Furiously Happy, she is at her snort-inducing funniest. This is a book about embracing everything that makes us who we are - the beautiful and the flawed - and then using it to find joy in fantastic and outrageous ways. Because as Jenny's mom says, "Maybe 'crazy' isn't so bad after all." Sometimes crazy is just right.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Heartfelt and ever-endearing—equal parts information and inspiration. This is a book to keep by your bedside and return to often.”—Amy Dickinson, nationally syndicated advice columnist "Ask Amy" More than one thousand extraordinary Americans share their stories and the wisdom they have gained on living, loving, and finding happiness. After a chance encounter with an extraordinary ninety-year-old woman, renowned gerontologist Karl Pillemer began to wonder what older people know about life that the rest of us don't. His quest led him to interview more than one thousand Americans over the age of sixty-five to seek their counsel on all the big issues- children, marriage, money, career, aging. Their moving stories and uncompromisingly honest answers often surprised him. And he found that he consistently heard advice that pointed to these thirty lessons for living. Here he weaves their personal recollections of difficulties overcome and lives well lived into a timeless book filled with the hard-won advice these older Americans wish someone had given them when they were young. Like This I Believe, StoryCorps's Listening Is an Act of Love, and Tuesdays with Morrie, 30 Lessons for Living is a book to keep and to give. Offering clear advice toward a more fulfilling life, it is as useful as it is inspiring.

Book excerpt: There is a paradox at the heart of our lives. We all want more money, but as societies become richer, they do not become happier. This is not speculation: It's the story told by countless pieces of scientific research. We now have sophisticated ways of measuring how happy people are, and all the evidence shows that on average people have grown no happier in the last fifty years, even as average incomes have more than doubled. The central question the great economist Richard Layard asks in Happiness is this: If we really wanted to be happier, what would we do differently? First we'd have to see clearly what conditions generate happiness and then bend all our efforts toward producing them. That is what this book is about-the causes of happiness and the means we have to effect it. Until recently there was too little evidence to give a good answer to this essential question, but, Layard shows us, thanks to the integrated insights of psychology, sociology, applied economics, and other fields, we can now reach some firm conclusions, conclusions that will surprise you. Happiness is an illuminating road map, grounded in hard research, to a better, happier life for us all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Should be read by every parent, teacher, minister, and Congressman in the land.”—The Atlantic In The Conquest of Happiness, first published by Liveright in 1930, iconoclastic philosopher Bertrand Russell attempted to diagnose the myriad causes of unhappiness in modern life and chart a path out of the seemingly inescapable malaise so prevalent even in safe and prosperous Western societies. More than eighty years later, Russell’s wisdom remains as true as it was on its initial release. Eschewing guilt-based morality, Russell lays out a rationalist prescription for living a happy life, including the importance of cultivating interests outside oneself and the dangers of passive pleasure. In this new edition, best-selling philosopher Daniel C. Dennett reintroduces Russell to a new generation, stating that Conquest is both “a fascinating time capsule” and “a prototype of the flood of self-help books that have more recently been published, few of them as well worth reading today as Russell’s little book.”

Book excerpt: The imperative of happiness dictates the conduct and direction of our lives. There is no escape from the tyranny of positivity. But is happiness the supreme good that all of us should pursue? So says a new breed of so-called happiness experts, with positive psychologists, happiness economists and self-development gurus at the forefront. With the support of influential institutions and multinational corporations, these self-proclaimed experts now tell us what governmental policies to apply, what educational interventions to make and what changes we must undertake in order to lead more successful, more meaningful and healthier lives. With a healthy scepticism, this book documents the powerful social impact of the science and industry of happiness, arguing that the neoliberal alliance between psychologists, economists and self-development gurus has given rise to a new and oppressive form of government and control in which happiness has been woven into the very fabric of power.

By following the instructions outlined in this book happiness will become a vibrant force for day-to-day living, regardless.
