Is happiness really all in the mind Why are some people always happy while others seem doomed to a life of misery Is it love, money, good looks or good genes Scientists have discovered that happiness isn't just a fleeting emotion or a quality that some fortunate people are born with. Rather, it is a skill to be cultivated and the effects can be seen in our brains, bloodstreams and behaviour. Eight Steps to Happiness is a practical guide to becoming a happier person in just eight weeks. The exercises and activities in Eight Steps are simple but profoundly effective and scientifically proven. Crucially, the Eight Steps to Happiness program arms you with the essentials of the happiness toolkit: mindfulness, altruism, gratitude, and social connections.
